Let’s assume that is correct. It doesn’t change my point much as to the comparative spread of a truly contagious disease and Ebola.

Let me ask you a question I asked someone else on another thread...what is going to stop Ebola in Africa? There is no cure. The healthcare systems have collapsed because of it. Their economies are near collapse. What is going to stop it's spread? Why will it not kill millions?

It could. I also think it will not stay limited to Africa. People still haven’t internalized how utterly ineffective the procedures for keeping it there are.

As it presently stands, a person can be exposed today in Sierra Leone, be in Europe tomorrow and in USA the day after that, not becoming symptomatic and (theoretically) contagious till 19 days after his arrival in this country.

The “screening” by taking temperature is theater for the stupid, nothing more, like most “airline security.”

In a world of global rapid travel, diseases will themselves rapidly become global. Duhhh.
