[quote=Anonymous]Things have gone from bad to worse to horrendous in West AFrica.  You  see how much chaos ONE case of ebola can cause in Dallas.   THey've had over a few thousand -- still a small part of the population affected but society has drawn to a complete halt and health care is decimated.

And now they are moving into exponential spread -- soon there will be 10,000 new cases each week, they are saying.   The virus will spread and start to affect members of the elite (government officials, people with money and means to GET OUT) and people will be desperate to leave the country by any means possible.   This is completely understandable.    It will happen in the next two months.

Especially if they have been exposed, or think they are having symptoms... they WILL leave, if they can, in hopes of getting actual care elsewhere.  (Sadly that didn't work out for Mr. Duncan, of course.)

There is therefore every reason to expect more and more individual cases of ebola to start showing up in various locations around the world.   Will it start an uncontrollable outbreak elsewhere?   Likely not but as you can see just ONE case of ebola in a state can be extremely costly and divisive and difficult to manage.

By Christmas we are going to have a massive, chronic problem on our hands.   World wide.[/quote]
