All flights in and out of active Ebola zones should be stopped.

Ebola’s more dangerous in the United States and Europe than in Africa because the way our cities are constructed.

One person in a thirty story Miami condo could kill 90% of their neighbors. Same with large office buildings in New York or Berlin. When residents realize they’ll die from secondary contract in an elevator... contracting the disease from the buttons on the elevator - then realize there no place for them to hide from the virus - they’ll panic. Some will pack up and go ‘home’ - back to aging parents in single family homes... And the virus will spread like wildfire.

On the lighter brighter side most of the people living in expensive inner city high rises are liberal elites... (just kidding - no, we don’t want liberal elites to die horrible deaths...)

Oh, and medical personnel will die first...

Ebola is not spread that way. It’s infectious, not contagious. You need direct contact with bodily fluids of an infected person.

Ebola virus particles degrade when exposed to light in less than a minute. Transmission has to be direct - blood to blood, saliva to saliva, vomit to blood or cut.

You can’t get it from an elevator button.
