A terrorist group could cause a lot of damage if they could get ahold of it, infect some people, and send them across our southern border into a big city into a group that fears interacting w/ the authorities because they're not legal.

if a legit ebola case living in a low income apartment with a ton of other people caused no secondary infections... not so much. hygiene works wonders in the first world where modern plumbing reduces the amount of people shitting in the streets and drinking from the potholes.

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. |

It is a poor bio-weapon. The timing, lethality, transmission methods, are all wrong for Western civilization. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

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. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Anyone still have the tail numbers of the bio-containment planes and/or know if they have any new ones? Phoenix Air says they can retrofit a 747-400 for 4 units. Not sure what's in play, but I can set some flightaware alerts...

Russians and or Chicoms are actually testing their biological weapons stockpiles in the Congo. Trying to see if they are still viable.

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. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Quoted: Our healthcare system would be overwhelmed. View Quote 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. |

TBS knows a good bit about this, IIRC, but extrapolating the expertise of his colleagues to the whole healthcare system is less than realistic. An isolated case or two, no problem, but more than that and things could get interesting. Not third world interesting, but not a good time. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

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. View Quote 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. |
