The real problem will be if and when it hits Mexico City. If that happens we will see millions of panicked people running to the US.
I think the Ebola situation in Africa is not being handled properly. I think the solution could be not just to isolate those infected but to test everyone else in their area for the virus and if they're proven healthy get them as far away from there as quickly as possible. The only people remaining in these areas should be the ones who have the virus or the people taking care of them. Everyone else should return to their homes only when the danger has passed completely. That's my opinion.
Dude, its Africa. There is no way that they will be able to contain something like this. They just don't have a sophisticated enough infrastructure or leadership in place to do so. Most people probably don't even know how it spreads, they think its a curse or some shit.
I'm not sure our (or any 1st world nation's) infrastructure could handle an epidemic the scale of the 1917 flu. There are only so many beds in hospitals and doctors and nurses to treat patients.
Even if they had the infrastructure, what you are suggesting wouldn't work. The virus has a two week incubation time when the infected person will carry the virus but not show any signs or be positive when tested. So if they were shipped out and away from the infected, once the virus presents they will infect a whole new population.
This whole Ebola thing is freaky, but it's killed fewer than 4000 people in its known history. As long as it does not mutate to be transmissible by air, than it shouldn't be too long before we get a hold of things. If it does mutate, god save the queen.
A ton of Christians are batshit crazy that I honestly can't tell if that's satire. Ebola spelled backwards is Alobe -- Hebrew for the devil is gonna get 'cha.
It will be interesting to see what type of panic occurs if there are a few cases that originate in the US. That's when you will see racism, bigotry, religious superiority and all sorts of other nasty human finger pointing.
These are valid points. It would indeed be almost impossible to handle such a project of testing and transferring the unharmed. I think the waiting period in which the virus doesn't even appear on tests is the biggest problem here, because people aren't even being isolated and the disease can spread.
If I get it, luckily I've got my baller ass iPhone 6 plus. With a screen this big, I'll still be able to type with one of those HazMat suits on! Sent from my Baller-Ass 5.5" iPhone 6+......... FAMS
