Sorry, but that's effing clueless... The Spanish Flu epidemic that killed millions during WW I... wasn't nearly as virulent as ebola. THAT's what matters... A flu epidemic like the worst of those we've had recently, might kill 1% or even 3% of the population... Ebola, IF it goes parabolic, is likely to kill 50% of the population of the entire planet... It's that difference that matters... and that difference is a fact that doesn't CARE about your politics. Ignoring that difference in risk... is STUPID... and it is that sort of stupidity that creates the growing risks you claim exist only because of those who ARE paying attention and pointing out the nature of the risk, instead of because of those who are opting to be stupid, who are in fact ensuring that the problem will persist, grow larger, and a attain critical mass that ensures it goes parabolic. The problem that creates... is NOW... because right NOW ebola can still be prevented from going parabolic... and if you don't prevent that NOW... in Africa... then... you ARE going to get a global parabolic outbreak. The choices are... do what it takes to contain it and stop it in Africa, right now... or be forced to deal with the consequences of a highly virulent disease with 50% mortality going parabolic, and going global, later. There's no middle ground that matters.
