You are probably right.

Current chances they give Ebola jumping to the US and creating a problem is 18%. That’s essentially 1 chance in 5.

I don’t know if that is based on STATED immigration policies or ACTUAL immigration policies.

STATED polices are in place for PRECISELY THIS REASON - to prevent the spread of diseases like this one.

We aren’t doing that, and haven’t been for at least a year along a 2000 mile stretch of our southern border.

My opinion concerning the odds of a significant Ebola "event" in the US by the end of July 2015 has been about 10% for the past month, and nothing I've seen yet has changed that.

My definition of a significant Ebola "event" in the U.S. includes major economic and/or financial impact alone, not merely those sick from or killed by the virus. Loss of strategic mineral or agricultural imports (such as gum Arabic) from Africa due to the Ebola epidemic might have a significant economic impact in the U.S.

A national air travel shutdown of more than three days, or a one-week quarantine of an area inhabited by 100,000 Americans, would also constitute a significant Ebola "event".

And this does not include today's report of cases exceeding 4000.
