You then are painting my numbers...your faith in our ability is blind.

Did you know that this disease is easily treated only when it is contracted via droplets..all other contact has only been defeated by personal immunity.

Did you know our ability to aid those that have contracted ebola by heavy droplets is very limited and such treatment availability could never withstand a few case per hospital.

Did you know that once ebola breaches that level the odds rise dramatically that infections begin to occur from more direct contact transmissions.

These type of transmissions have a 90 percent death rate.

Now Alter would you like to rethink your vision that this is a scare or would you like me to go further?

Huh? There are zero proven treatments for the disease regardless of how you contract it. There are a few unproven experimental treatments, but the way to stop ebola isn't to treat it, it's to run effective quarantines of people at risk of spreading it while giving patients supportive care -- keeping their fluids and electrolyte levels steady, for example.

I'm not sure what your point is -- if you contract ebola regardless of how you contract it, the mortality rate is pretty darn high. The solution is to not contract ebola.

Arggh! We're all going to die! Panic! I'm honestly not sure why you think you need to make the case that ebola is a dangerous and deadly disease. I think the entire planet knows it is. The issue is whether or not it's spread can be controlled and stopped -- and the answer to that is of course it can.
