I'll wake you up in January or February. By then it will be on the exponential part of the curve. It just has to kill some more of the rare medical personnel in Africa in order to completely break down the system. Then it will spread throughout the major western African cities. It's not that it's contagious but it's lethality is what makes it a nasty little bugger.
It has a reproductive number >1 so it will spread.
I'm just hoping that those that are willing to bring this in the country get to see it up close and personal. Schadenfreude would be delightful in that little occurrence.
If "those" Governments allow it to break out that's not a good thing, but
it's also the citizens who allow it ultimately. Personal responsibility.
I just can't get into the hype.
