http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN0HP2F720140930?irpc=932The day some preppers have been waiting for has arrived.
Reuters are confirming that the Texas patient has been diagnosed with this latest strain of ebola.
Chances are extremely good that those infected who are
caught will be effectively quarantined until they succumb (a 75-85% mortality rate is bandied about, however that is for Sierra Leone, not American medical superiority), and up to a certain tipping point the state will be able to properly dispose of the bodies and other hazardous expendables. Ebola is spread by bodily fluid contamination. Blood, saliva, airborne droplets of body fluid suspended for short periods of time. In that regard it is relatively simple a virus - so far* - and a large proportion of the poor containment in Africa thus far is simply attributed to a lack of cultural understanding of contagions. Something that thankfully isn't common in better educated first world countries.
The US also has disease control superiority when compared to even foreign installations in Africa right now,
but that's only effective if contact tracking is effectual enough to catch up on four days of potentially exposed cases + those who traveled with the patient.
The Texan has been mingling with the public for FOUR DAYS leading up to hospitalisation, including travel hotspots which is about the very last place you want a highly infectious outbreak.
Why the fuck are the airports still receiving flights out of Africa? Shit's fucked.
