The CDC has been lowballing, underestimating, making light of, downplaying, and dismissive of concerns regarding the ease of transmission of ebola and sensible action to contain it. It’s not that they are wrong in one area, it’s that they are wrong in all areas. People are more afraid of an inept and politicized CDC than a deadly tropical disease that should have already burned itself out in-place without western intervention under normal circumstances.
The reason it has not is that it spreads slowly.
