An Ebola break-out in a large city will turn residential sky scrappers into death traps...

Ebola’s virus can live outside the body for days - - haunting elevator buttons, grocery cart handles and air conditioning duck work...

High density inner city neighborhoods will be epicenters of the slaughter. The CDC needs to STOP importing the Ebola virus in the bodies of it’s victims. It’s the wrong choice.

Here is an article on how they dealt with in one African city in 1995.
http://www.newsweek.com/20-year-old-ebola-treatment-could-save-kent-brantly-262552?piano_t=1

Excerpt: “By the time Robert Colebunders arrived in Kikwit, Democratic Republic of Congo (known as Zaire at the time), on June 15 of 1995, the Ebola virus had ravaged the city of 250,000 and the neighboring area for nearly 6 months. The hospitals in the riverport town were empty; patients and healthcare workers had fled to other parts of the country for fear of contracting the deadly disease, which would ultimately affect 317 people and kill 245.

Eventually, the Kikwit Ebola outbreak was traced back to January 1995, but it wasn’t until the start of May of that year that local public health officials recognized the many sick patients in the area as victims of the infectious disease. On May 8th, the Zairian government officially declared the epidemic, asking the World Health Organization to mobilize international assistance. Soon after, infectious disease experts arrived from the WHO, the CDC, Doctors Without Borders, the South African Medical Institute, the Red Cross, and Belgium’s Institute of Tropical Medicine—which sent Colebunders.

Immediately, the team went to work to contain the disease.”

It cannot live outside the body on elevator buttons.

Please stop the panic/disaster crap talk.
