The reason why Ebola has spread in Africa is because of third world mentality. Not PC to say that, but it is true. They were warned not to handle the dead bodies, but due to cultural beliefs, they did it anyway. The virus spread because of their ignorance. The medical volunteers are on a suicide mission. If you look at pictures of the isolation clothes that they wear in the Ebola wards, it is no different than the clothes medical workers wear in US hospitals, with the exception of the complete face mask. If the CDC were there, they would be in spacesuits with decontamination showers. Entry and exits to the wards would have staging areas. At least, that is what I have read in first person accounts of previous outbreaks. I don't think that is being done now, we have a bunch of people running over there putting their lives and the lives of others at risk.
If it comes to the US, I think it can be contained by proper disposal of bodies, and real isolation techniques - biohazard suits, laminar flow rooms, etc.

A scary and dangerous disease to be sure. However it doesn’t spread in the same area as the cold or flu. Outbreaks like this tend to be related to the substandard medical facilities and equipment in the region.

Is the headline implying that everyone in Washington, DC may get ebola?

“Screening people as they enter the country may help slow the spread of the disease ... Unfortunately the initial signs of Ebola imitate other diseases, like malaria or typhoid,”

Unfortunately? Why would you want to let any of those pass?


Where did it say those should be able to pass?

Apologies, I did not....So it sounds like it is possible it could already be here and we don’t know it yet.

Why else would they say “unfortunately?”

That is only because they have never reached major
population centers before.

This is a nightmare beyond our wildest imagining.

What about the infected guy who collapsed at the Nigerian airport? His flight also had a stop over.

“Screening people as they enter the country may help slow the spread of the disease, but it is no guarantee Ebola won’t travel by airplane... Unfortunately the initial signs of Ebola imitate other diseases, like malaria or typhoid,”

I have a radical solution to this problem - don't let people into your country with malaria or typhoid either. Derp.

Not everyone. But the lows odds are there for the virus being brought to D.C. by one or more summit attendees. If it gets spread through sexual contact in D.C.’s gay scene or heterosexual prostitution rings it could get ugly fast.

It cousin Marburg Virus reached major European cities in the 60s. It infected 23 and killed 7. There’s a difference between infectious and contagious.

One can imagine what is going through the minds of officials at the CDC, Secret Service and Homeland Security.

Damn straight! If I can come up with this in seconds, the CDC, SS, and Homeland Security should be working 24/7. Unfortunately, I agree with your statement.

At a news conference on Monday 27 July at the Lagos State Government Secretariat in Alausa, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria, Lagos Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris disclosed that 59 people had contact with the late Sawyer, which include the Nigerian Ambassador to Laberia.

“So far, a total of 59 contacts have been registered consisting 44 hospital contacts (38 healthcare workers and six laboratory staff) and 15 Airport contacts, comprising 3 ECOWAS staff-driver, Liaison, and Protocol officer, Nigerian Ambassador to Monrovia, two nursing staff and five Airport passenger handlers.

“As of the time of this report, 20 contacts had been physically screened of which 50% are type 1 contact and 50% had had type 2 contact. Airline manifest has not been provided by the airline at the time of this report and therefore the precise number of passenger contacts is yet to be ascertained, especially as two flights were involved (Monrovia-Lome and Lome-Lagos),” he disclosed.
