Oh, please
Even if it is confirmed, we're talking about a country with state-of-the-art medical facilities.... not some under-developed African country with hospitals that don't even have glass in their windows.
Now for the Love of God, can everybody stop panicking?

I'm sorry.
Do you ever pay attention to the Obamacare threads where we are routinely lectured on the total lack of health care to the poor and Middle Class in AmeriKKKa?

Remind yourself that this involves Africa, and then take another look at the first two posters in this thread.

Unlike most, I have actually had the pleasure (???) of seeking medical attention in one of the remote 'medical clinics' in Africa when I accidentally dropped a knife into my calf muscle.
To say I exited faster than I entered would be slightly understating things.
I ended up using superglue to repair the cut and waited until I was back in civilisation to get further treatment.
Trust me when I tell you that unlike America, there was never any possibility of any of the African countries involved to be able to contain this outbreak to manageable levels.
Your idea of sub-standard medical facilities doesn't come close to describing conditions over there.
Your worst is still far, far better than most rural health centres in Africa.

Not the point.
My point was for those who find racism every time I post.

I am actually being serious.
Shocking, I know.

No panic here.
Remember the Spanish flu killed 20 million people in 1910. Half the population of Europe at the time. No worries.

We'll see who gets it in the next week.
Theyre trying to locate all the people he had contact with while he was contagious.

Given that it takes direct contact with contaminated body fluids, I'd be very surprised if it's more than a couple of people, if any.

This is very good news. First, it's in Texas and as we're constantly reminded, things are bigger in Texas which means this will be bigger than in Africa.
Second, it's in Texas where large portions of the population believes government is evil except in the case of taxpayer money used as subsidies for the oil industry, repairing the damage from chemical explosions which resulted from the lack of government oversight of the amount of chemicals stored in one location, and of course getting more taxpayer money from the federal government than you put in (i.e. leechers).
Finally, it's Texas so there wouldn't be any great loss if we had to seal the border to prevent the spread of the contagion.
Besides, all those anti-vaxers would have to make a choice to either stand by their nutty principles and not get the ebola vaccine, or die a slow, lingering, bloody death.
Here's hoping.

It should have NEVER gotten out of Africa. Violation of the first rule of containing an epidemic.................ISOLATION.
Cavalier overconfidence is a path to disaster.

There was a difference. They were brought here in isolation, not on a commercial flight.

Furry foot always misses the details.
Today's commercial airliner is little more than a pressurized virus incubator.

Most dogooders believe isolation is a major human rights transgression. They never consider how the community has a right to sanctuary from preventable harm. Isolation is, at worst, an inconvenience.
