[ Could experimental vaccines morph Ebola into something more highly contagious and deadly? ]

Making Ebola (less) deadly would actually cause it to become more widespread, that or increasing the incubation time so it has a chance to spread further, the problem with a highly contagious highly deadly virus is that it will burn itself out quickly.

People these days are so selfish, that they are not going to cooperate with quarantines.

They have *rights* you know, and that means the *right* to do what they want, when they want, everyone else be damned.

What's probably the only thing that's going to work is the healthy people voluntarily quarantining themselves until the outbreak is over.

Unless it gets too bad in the cities and then there could be forced quarantine and martial law.

The medical system is going to be overwhelmed and health care workers are going to be in short supply and high demand as they succumb.

It's not a pretty picture.

That's how I see it anyway.
