Isolation and quarantine remain the only tools available to stop the spread at this time and for the foreseeable future.
An infected person could aerosolize himself with an explosive suicide vest.
But who would ever want to do that???
So....how did Dr. Brantley and the nurse get it?
Bleedin’ plague ping mates
“Isolation and quarantine remain the only tools available to stop the spread at this time and for the foreseeable future.”
WHO needs to listen to WHO!!
“GENEVA: The World Health Organisation said on Monday (Aug 18) that it had set up a task force with the global airline and tourism industry in an effort to contain the spread of Ebola.”
“In Monday’s statement, the WHO reiterated that it does not recommend any ban on international travel or trade due to the Ebola outbreak, which has infected more than 2,100 people so far and killed 1,145.”
“To head off potential risks, the WHO reaffirmed that affected countries should conduct exit screening of all persons at international airports, seaports and major land crossings, for unexplained febrile illness consistent with potential Ebola infection”.
“Anyone with an illness consistent with Ebola should not be allowed to travel, unless the journey was part of a medical evacuation, nor should people who have had contact with an Ebola case, it said.”
How in the H@11 can they know if someone had contact with an Ebola case??

Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
