You can sit and do the math on man-hours. For each single person that comes up with Ebola...you can figure at least 3,000 man-hours tied up into this guy, tracking his friends and family down, testing them, and trying to prevent further issues. You can figure by March of next year...at least 10,000 people in Texas who have contracted the disease, and the whole system overcome with man-hours that they can’t sustain. Just figure one single McDonalds that a guy might visit and having the entire crew put on quarantine. Or a Wal-Mart visit....where the 300 employees are now quarantined.
If ebola really gets going here, it will spread through the schools. Pitchforks will come out if this concentrates on kids.
