Read the report from FReeper Onona, here, whose wife was on the NJ plane with the vomiting Liberian. Not only was the plane full of Liberians, likely fleeing the country, but they were allowed to continue on to their destinations. Now, assuming they were asymptomatic, that does not rule out that they were exposed and are mere days from becoming symptomatic. They took the addresses. Wonderful. Just like all the captured illegals who take off into the countryside, never to be found again. This is insane.

Ok, say this guy has infected two people in the US. That seems to be the R0 with ebola. In 21 days, or Oct 25th, those two will have infected 4 people. In 21 days from then, 15 November, those four will infect 8. 21 Days later, the 8 infect 16. 21 days after that, the 16 infect 32. Add another 21 days, 64 infected. +21, 128. +21, 256. +21, 512. +21, 1024.

So by the 11th of April, 2015, one person could infect over a thousand people. With a disease mortality rate of 60%.

I don’t want to see anyone fly into a panic, but it would be nice to see EVEN LOCAL HOSPITALS (meaning PEOPLE who work there) get a freaking clue. Way too many of the dead in West Africa have been doctors and nurses and other people who work in HOSPITALS!!!

Seriously. Don’t they value their own lives?
