So since the retarded monkeys running the show have decided to let the Ebola infected Americans come home, say they infect someone, and it causes a major outbreak, what happens next?

On Thursday, Barack Obama signed an executive order that allows for the apprehension, detention, or conditional release of individuals with certain severe acute respiratory diseases, not including influenza. The executive order modifies one signed in 2003 by George Bush that allowed for the detention and quarantine of those with SARS.

It's not like they're going to liquify the ebola patients, put them in crop dusters and do aerial spraying over all major metropolitan areas to ensure a good, even coverage.



Or are they?

But seriously? People freak out, stay inside, and no one gets a Happy Meal because everyone's too freaked out about dying.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. Mortality rate of 60 to 90%?

Read the book THE HOT ZONE by Richard Preston, published in 1995.

It is an excellent read.

If there was ever a major outbreak of Ebola Zaire or Marburg in this country, we are fucked.

That is, of course, assuming that there aren't current cases in western countries that have been misdiagnosed as something else considering the initial symptoms are the same as a cold.

21 days of incubation period, and 7 days till you're kaput after it's active? And, as per the Canadian study, it may be airborne?

It's airborne in the sense that if someone sneezes on you you're fucked. Frankly I think even a minor outbreak and our economy will start to crumble. Commerce will all but come to a halt. Imagine empty NFL stadiums on Sunday...

One advantage we have in America versus places like Zaire is that when someone dies, we don't bring the body back into our home for a few days where the entire family bathes the deceased and handles the corpse.

This.  The US military has mobile hospitals that can be airlifted anywhere in the world and can treat anything.  Why bring them back here?

Sure, the risk may not be that great, but why have any risk at all when it isn't necessary?

They'd quarantine those infected. Most major hospitals are equipped to handle such cases. If something cropped up in my neck of the woods, I'd prolly take a week of PTO, but otherwise I'm not concerned.

Most major cities would be fucked in a matter of weeks.

Economy would tank so hard that it would finally get to where Obama wants it.

FEMA camps would become real.

Riots would be breaking out. Especially in the inner city ghettos.
