Doctors Without Borders (MSF) warned the crisis gripping Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone would only get worse and could not rule out it spreading to other countries.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has met global health officials on implementing measures to halt the spread of the disease, as the pan-African airline ASKY suspended all flights to and from the capitals of Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Meanwhile the European Union allocated an extra two million euros ($2.7 million) to fight the outbreak, bringing total EU funding to 3.9 million euros

“There is no greater disaster than to underestimate danger. Underestimation can be fatal.”
Geez, panicking and crying wolf over everything, isn’t useful or adult.
The goal is to be accurate and realistic, not screaming the same panic and call of total destruction “the end is near” at every noise you hear.

That was the Spanish flu only a 2.5 mortality rate. I was also back before travel was as easy and as prevalent as it is today.
So?
Why not post the black Plague next? Perhaps you can post the old claims that Aids was going to kill us all, maybe do small pox and Indians.
Some people you just can’t help. Well at least I know you have a bullet for me.
A bullet for you? what kind of melodramatic insanity is that?
As far as help, you mean not everyone is an idiot and has to chant the same lime for every thing.
You think that Ebola means complete breakdown and the apocalypse and collapse of America, and I don’t agree.
When will we know the results about Ebola and which one of us is right? One year, two, five?
I said nothing about a complete break down I did say you need to be able to stand on your own for 30-60 days, because I don’t trust FEMA to be able to handle such an event.
As far as the bullet my memory appears to be a bit longer than others.
I want you to tell me why you are bringing up shooting as you pursue this strange raving against me.
As far as you not talking about a total breakdown, me saying that if the county health officer quarantines a family for Ebola, that they won’t be allowed to starve, your argument that they would be, can only be explained by you thinking of a Mad Max America destroyed by Ebola.
By the way we already have a family quarantined here for Ebola.
Thank you! For those not as familiar with Ebola and potentials...this is a definite read as it is based on a true story.

Correction, another article says the family isn’t quarantined, but is being “monitored”.
I’m serious, I want to know what this talk is of bullets and long memories.
On the other hand, there’s also the will to quarantine. We are talking about something possibly prejudicial in relation to Africa, home and origin of all that is good in every other place, ever.
Then it spreads pretty much like HIV.
