Woman contracts Ebola from having sex with cured survivor.

IOW, they don't really know all the ways the disease can be transmitted.

I'm not normally a "tin hat" guy, but...

Much as they might like to I don't think they dare try it.

Doctor in New York City tests positive for Ebola.

Went bowling yesterday.

According to a website I can't vouch for, Ebola patients are disappearing from hospitals. They come in with Ebola symptoms, but arnt there the next day when hospital staff ask about a patient who came in the night before. Seems far fetched that the CDC could keep this under wraps.

I know the website of which you speak. The claim may be balderdash or come from paranoia, but I fully expect a government that continually lies and obfuscates to lie about and cover up what is really happening with Ebola....especially before the November elections. One could make the case for incompetence over deception but I think it's both a lying government and an incompetent government. A government that is probably more competent at lying than at anything else it does (not counting actual military action...the military being the only part of government left with a vestige of integrity and competence).

The Obama administration has spoken. Turns out, Ebola is just an isolated instance of workplace virus.

So, hopefully this is a contained case but knowing that they might not tell everything to prevent a panic I can not say with certainty that we can believe anything they say. We will just have to wait and see if any new cases show up. I personally would not be surprised if new cases did show up. The CDC is a government run agency with all of the the imperfections of any government run agency. They couldn't track smallpox or anthrax in their own facility. The infected individual went to a hospital 2 days before and was sent home??? Remind me not to go to that ER.
100% exactly what I wanted to say, but did not know how word it. Thank you Roter.

First US case now in Dallas.

Yeah, The One will make sure they get "special" treatment alright....he'll insure their deaths are hidden and covered up.

I think you may have no real concept of how primitive and superstitious people are in some places on the African continent. A lot of these people are uneducated, illiterate, and have, at best, an 18th century understanding of medicine. That's really more a case of ignorance than stupidity.

Did he watch the news?
No, he watched CNN.
If a case occurs here, you can pretty much guarantee it will be Ebola 24/7 on CNN.

Maybe, but it depends on the entry point. If it comes from someone illegally crossing our southern border there will be scant mention of it in the MSM.

Dr. Kent Sepkowtiz for the Daily Beast said it is unlikely the virus will spread to the United States.

“The disease simply sickens and kills too quickly, plus anyone in the U.S. with an odd febrile illness and rapid progression to prostration is placed into gown and glove isolation at just about every hospital in the country,” Sepkowtiz wrote.

He noted that it wouldn’t likely cause a pandemic elsewhere either because it is actually “an easily preventable disease.” Countries with underfunded health care systems are more likely to see outbreaks.

That was true even back in 1918 with the great flu epidemic that killed so many people. The wealthier the country the fewer people that died...not so many here compared to undeveloped parts of the world. And within a given wealthy country, the poorer, and hence, usually more densely packed, the higher the mortality rate. Some troop ships heading to Europe arrived with 95% on board dead.
