I think the new protocols that brought those two NC aid workers (a doctor and a social worker) back from the brink are available to new cases.
CDC just doesn’t know who the new cases are going to be in Dallas, Maryland and elsewhere. What if they all go to those micro-clinics with complaints and get sent home? After today, they likely will be quarantined.
I put the US medical system as 10X better at beating this as Africa, so the 6000K infected and 3000K dead in Africa won’t be happening here like it has there in the last 6 months.
So, I’m thinking Ebola US will burn out after 600 infected, 300 dead.
But the MenSeekingMen media will use fear in areas where they need to.
“I put the US medical system as 10X better at beating this as Africa, so the 6000K infected and 3000K dead in Africa won’t be happening here like it has there in the last 6 months.”
Good reasoning, and I hope you are correct.
However, whereas some guy in a village in Liberia might travel 8 blocks in an entire month, a guy here can do a 40 mile commute every day. Drop the kids at school, hop on the bus with 20 other people (some coming-some going), grab a coffee downtown, elevator, lunch, bus, stop by the store, etc.
No worries unless you’re one of the not so fortunate.
