[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This CNN article talks about how a travel ban would be unprecedented. It mentions that we implemented no such control for SARS or H1N1. However, the fatality rate for those diseases is much lower. And H1N1 has a vaccine. http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/17/politics/ebola-travel-ban-unprecedented/[/quote] SARS had a total of 8,000 cases in 8 months, with a fatality rate of 9% This ebola epidemic in West Africa is predicted to have 10,000 new cases [b]each week[/b] as it continues to spread, exponentially, over the next few months, throughout West African countries, where already people are dying from lack of health care for treatable illnesses. And they are running out of food. The epidemics really are not in any way comparable.[/quote]
