As they cope with the first cases of Ebola hemorrhagic fever diagnosed in the United States, in Texas, health officials step up precautions to ensure minimal contact with the virus.
According to a new analysis conducted by the expert transmission Charles Haas of Drexel University, as many as 12 percent of patients Ebola may not show symptoms for more than 21 days after infection, thereby making the current quarantine practices unacceptably short.

http://www.virology.ws/2009/02/13/acute-viral-infections/ viral infections can be spread by patients without symptoms. I’m looking for the link, but, if my memory is correct, it has been estimated that 16% of Ebola patients are contagious before showing symptoms (including fever).
And in addition to what Pollster1 posted, the ebola virus test has a high rate of false negatives. So the real way to stop the disease in its tracks is to very simply institute strict quarantine - for 40 days. Like Firestone did in Africa with great results. In the middle of a hot zone.
It’s not the end of the world. It’s not cruel. Come on, you can clean the house from top to bottom, work on hobbies, or play stupid video games. This entire narrative is pathetic.
