>>The USA is well behind any real contingency. They can barely handle 2/3/4 cases. Give them 100 and that's another story.

We are learning very fast. IMO, we could easily handle a 100 cases. Yet, there seems little chance of that from legal travel into the US.

I am not suggesting there are no risks to the US - just that the serious risks are not near term.

The risk that I think would be most concerning is if ZEBOV were to get into Central America / Mexico and people start fleeing into the US illegally. And hiding their disease state in poor high-density populations in the US.

>>I'm a proactive type. My world is about considering what can go wrong and then having the contingenices in place.

If you knew me, you would not think that statement distinguishes you from me.
