We didn’t know that back in the early 80s. We don’t know every about Ebola now.
Hysteria is not helpful.
Hysteria?
Who’s demonstrating hysteria?
Since when did taking reasonable precautions qualify as *hysteria*?
Fact of the matter is, we don’t know what’s going to happen but I would not be surprised in the least if Ebola hits the US, either unintentionally or intentionally.
Our borders make a pretty good sieve.
We’re already dealing with drug resistant TB among other things.
Only a fool would bury their heads in the sand and claim it’s not going to happen here.
Aids has only killed about 36 million people, and kills fewer than 2 million a year now.
you had better be a little alarmed at ebola
it kills up to 90% of the victims in less than a month, and they are contagious BEFORE symptoms show up. You can walk through a room where someone with ebola has been and catch it.
Aids kills over 20 years. and you only catch it by dangerous activities, it is quite hard to catch. I know several nurses who say the lies told about aids are very bad- they almost never see it except in gay people and drug users ONLY.
Ebola kills everyone, and very fast- in fact so fast it usually burns itself out before it can become an epidemic.
Look at the graph lines for this- it does NOT look to even be flattening yet, let alone declining- it has not reached the peak
“Hysteria is not helpful.”
Acquiring information about a disease isn’t a hysterical reaction. The more one knows, the better one can prepare and then not worry. Prepping to avoid the flu or have preps to not catch it if someone in the house has it, is prudent, especially with older age people.
