Its extremely important that we all leap up, throw our hands in the air and start running around screaming hysterically.philip964 wrote:An Ebola outbreak has occurred in Africa. 64 are dead. It has a kill ratio so far of around 66 percent.
If you hear that hospital workers are dieing or that cases are being reported in major cities in Africa, it will not take long for it to reach Europe. Once there it could reach the US quickly.
Quarantining yourself until it burns out is your only defense.
Hopefully this strain is passed by contact not by the air and that it has a short period of incubation. Otherwise we will hear more. A short period causes it to burn out quickly without infecting more people.

Read the "Hot Zone" if you want to scare yourself.
Sorry, but I've been through this movie too many times to get worked up about it.
