[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd like to know if any of the posters who are so fearful of Ebola are the same people who don't vaccinate their kids, or who don't get flu shots. Now that is some scary stuff.

As far as I know, one (uninsured, Liberian, initially untreated) person has died of Ebola in the U.S. Is that right?[/quote]

Dem, pro-vax, agnostic. I'm not so worried about catching the disease as concerned about the financial and legal costs we are incurring. It takes thousands of dollars a day to treat one patient in the US. Seems like visa restrictions and comfortable quarantines would make new cases less likely here. For the record, I'm fine with those quarantined going out to exercise or blow off steam.

I AM worried about the rest of the world. Seems to me that if the US followed the lead of Canada and Australia and restricted visas, more countries would become aware and would join in the eradication at the source. A "medical moon mission" is how one doctor described it. The possible spread to places like India, Egypt, Sudan etc. is a concern, because multiple sources means more expense and waste.[/quote]

Great post[/quote]

Thx. Who knows though, maybe Ebola will actually be a money-maker here. We can do nothing until enough people become infected, then declare a War on Ebola, cure them and then profit from selling their antibodies. [/quote]
