The viral load in body really takes off in the endstages of the illness when you get the most bleeding/body fluid coming out of the patient.  In Muslim populations, this means greater transmission with the practice of washing dead bodies before burial.  But any unprotected handling of the body is bad as the virus does stay viable for a period of time.  Since Western medicine practices universal precautions when it comes to body fluids, the amount of transmission would be a lot lower.  Part of the problem is simply their ignorance on how the disease is transmitted.

Yup.  You want highly contagious especially airborne, longer incubation period + infectiousness prior to onset of symptoms so it can continue to be transmitted, low immunity in the population, etc.

I've pulled it off with starts in Cuba and Europe, but yeah, a Madagascar start is the easiest way to ensure 100% success.  But, then again, that "success" leaves zero hosts, so maybe it wasn't much of a success.

We saw shades of that the last go around, and we only brought in a dozen or so patients.  A couple came to my city.

Bioweapons would be the way to go to shut everything down, IMO.  Not necessarily ebola as many in here have talked about, but that's the way to go.  Tom Clancy highlighted it in a few books that many of you have read, I studied the shit out of this in college, most of my friends are medical.  I'd take a nuke over an effective biological weapon.

I dunno man, I think something major would turn it nearly third world interesting.  We don't have the means to deal with it.  If anyone played The Division, that was not very far fetched outside of the stupid game mechanics.

your flaw is the fact that modern 1st world medical care and hygiene is effective in stopping the transmission and actually curing ebola patients. things like ebola will simply not be an epidemic issue in the usa unless something seriously drastic happens to shutdown our infrastructure turning us into a 3rd world prior to the infection. based on the fact there is now an effective immunization program for it the odds of healthcare workers being infected during care is significantly reduced further limiting the issues.

As I pointed out, nosocomial infections are already a thing.  In a very limited outbreak, the A team gets brought out to deal with it, and things are ok.  There aren't a lot of people trained or equipped to deal with that properly, though. What is your honest assessment of the number of patients, and the number of places, that the specialists can realistically deal with at a given time?  Suzy Q floor nurse obviously isn't going to deal with that well, especially with the equipment at hand at an average hospital.  What happens when the specialists are overwhelmed?  I'll also add that there are certainly places in this country where living conditions and sanitation are not up to first world standards...and there is a strong correlation to those places and a lack of trust of authority.

I'm not saying dying of Ebola is something I'd even think about outside of threads like these, but flatly stating it won't ever happen because of how awesome our healthcare system (and immigration system) are seems hubristic to me.
