Ebola coming to a town near you.

[Arlo]

It's not Ebola, probably just pneumoleprosy.

Well that's a relief. No ..... wait .....

It's not getting better.  The people who've been exposed in Dallas were kind enough to ignore the isolation order until a judge spelled out some legal consequences.

I don't see how y'all see the ebola problem to be so funny.  

Keep in mind this one case in Texas represents a failure in ebola boundary control.  An ebola leak sort of speak that no government has come forward to put their thumb in it.  To think this one poor man is the only one that has or will travel with ebola is a terrible oversight.  The current controls are barely more substantial than controlling the spread of flu.  How well does that work?  How many of you have gone to work or school with a fever without thought of spreading an infection?

Keep in mind too the number of beds and trained staff available to deal with this is very small.  Many, hospitals have little or no facilities and trained staff to deal with problems like this.

The only answer is an extended isolation before leaving an ebola area.  I would not be surprised if one of those areas would be Texas if the CDC doesn't do more than they are doing.

It's taking armed guards and a court ordered quarantine to keep the family exposed to ebola indoors.  Before the court order they were coming and going as if it's no big deal to expose the general public to this virus.

The guy who brought it to Dallas lied his butt off when he filled out a series of ebola questions before boarding a plane and flying to Dallas.

These behaviors to me sound like reckless endangerment at the very least, up to manslaughter if anyone else gets sick and dies...

What about starting an epidemic?  You won't even feel sick during the incubation period of 20 days.

[Randy1]

Keep in mind the CDC sent only 7 people to stop an epidemic.  Governments are poorly suited to take charge of a dynamic situation.  Remember Mayor nagin, he left town.

If he kills me, I'm going to be quite upset.

 nice to know you think it's amusing.

[Arlo]

nice to know you think it's amusing.

Thank you for your concern. Try not to be too offended over my nonchalant way of addressing this crisis in my own back yard.

Better to be infected early, while society is still functioning and health care is available.  Once I survive and my immunity is established, then society can go crumble, and good luck to you surviving your inevitable infections when everyone is looting and running amok.

Now just need to get a passport and airline ticket to Africa... or Texas.
