We've been saying it's only a matter of time until it gets here, and bringing people here for treatment in violation of good epidemiology practice certainly isn't helping. Bringing a small number of people to dedicated treatment centers is a fairly low risk situation. And not something we should be concerned about when we still have free air travel and 2 wide open boarders. The only way to secure the country from Ebola would be to shut down both boarders and close off all air and sea travel to or from the US. Which would wreck all sorts of havoc on the economy. And keep a close eye on the *borders*. Meh |

Seriously, though, for those of you worried about Ebolapocalypse, I wouldn't worry too much.
Diseases like Ebola are probably never going to become "slate wipers" for the simple reason that they usually start to kill their victims at a faster rate than new ones are infected. This generally results in them "burning themselves out" like a wildfire running out of timber. Of course, it sucks if you are one of the one or two million people in the "fire" so to speak, but, well, shit happens.

Here's a link to a presentation by Dr Mark Kortepeter (Colonel, US Army
Medical Corps Director, Infectious Disease Clinical Research Program) regarding viral hemorrhagic fevers (2012). It's interesting to note that he recommends precautions geared around potential airborne transmission when treating patients with suspected VHF. This presentation was developed around the same time Canadian scientists observed airborne transmission between pigs and monkeys. I guess there's a difference between sneeze droplets travelling pretty far versus a more "true" airborne process...I'm not sure how much it matters. Also note reference to a case involving parasite (tick) bites and VHF. http://wrair-www.army.mil/Documents/TropMed/Feb-2012/%2819%29%20Kortepeter_Hemorrhagic%20Fevers_February%202012.pdf |

I'm sorry, I know the likelihood in the US that an Ebola outbreak really takes hold is slim to none....however, I'm getting increasingly weary of every asshole in some third world shithole that gets Ebola that is brought here for treatment. They knew the risks of working in those areas, but now they want the US to save their ass at "potentially" the expense of US citizens when shit gets real.
