re: #367 WhatEVs

Once that happens we - globally - are fucked. Once it hits air travel…I can’t even go there. I just can’t.

Ebola just isn’t that kind of threat to a country with a decent medical infrastructure, because it’s not contagious unless the infected person is actually showing symptoms, and it’s spread by direct contact only. Like smallpox. Extremely contagious (if you have symptoms) extremely deadly, controllable by quarantine.

Of course it would be nice if, like smallpox, we had a vaccine.
