re: #49 Targetpractice

One thing I’ve heard recently is that, unlike past Ebola outbreaks where the fatality rate ran as high as 90%, the current epidemic has been roughly 50%, mostly due to the better equipped hospitals in Africa being able to address early symptoms and combat dehydration in infected patients. So the idea of Ebola as a death sentence is wildly overstated.

Yes, so the fear mongering in the USA is just ridiculous. One guy in Dallas is not writing a death sentence for thousands of people.
