I find it interesting theres never been a case of ebola in the us. So naturally we decide to import it.... who had that bright idea?
Not that hard to get medical treatment TO them.Please don't ask questions like this, EH. You know who will answer it. And we all know who he will blame.
But yes, I also found that fact to be interesting. I am sure they brought him back to the states (the woman is coming back tomorrow, I think) so that they may receive the best medical care possible. That's understandable. Scary but understandable.

Well Ebola fortunately isn't airborne so it isn't that difficult to quarantine.
It's mainly a problem in places that have shit-hole sanitary conditions.
I can see why they brought them back- and to my knowledge, they aren't presenting with symptoms and so they are not yet contagious. It makes sense for them to bring them to a place where they have the technology and capabilities to maintain them and the virus. Considering that people travel back and forth from there and around the world all day every day, it's likely that these two cases won't be what causes an outbreak (if it happens!)
I did have a 'wtf' moment when I saw them unload the doctor into a public hospital! You would have thought they'd take him to a secure facility with more of a capacity to contain it.
I don't mind anyone posting on here, theories, ideas, or whatnot. I know there's some tension between members on topics and information posting, but if possible- I'd like to keep the thread open to anything, no matter how fringe it is! I think there can be tandem discussions happening in the thread!
Hmmm I have been thinking about this. It seems as if there is great mistrust of the medical community in africa. Many believe the medical workers are actually giving people the virus either on purpose or out of ignorance. So perhaps showing these people its not as scary as it seems (bring the disease into our boarders just to show we arent scared of it type of thing. Maybe even to show Americans theres nothing to be scared about...why?
Maybe they feel as if an outbreak here is eminent and they want to nip panic in the butt BEFORE it happens.
I thought there was one really rare strain that they think might have been airborne..I could be wrong! Also, someone told me that research out of Canada just showed that it is airborne between animal- I've yet to see the paper!
There is apparently a perfect storm virus scenario where 90+% of all people on earth die. There is an incubation period of a certain time frame so that those that have it spread it before they know they have it. Also a death period where they have time to spread it before they die as being dead keeps them from spreading it. It seems this ebola virus fits nicely I to the perfect storm scenario. As for it not being air born? Ha ha ! One word...mosquitos.
I think you're thinking of malaria.
