Air Traffic Drives Spread Of Ebola Out Of Africa

Here is what non-US researchers are saying about the Ebola outbreak:

"Air traffic is the driver," Vespignani said. "But there are also differences in connections with the affected countries (Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone), as well as different numbers of cases in these three countries - so depending on that, the probability numbers change."

Patients are at their most contagious when Ebola is in its terminal stages, inducing both internal and external bleeding, and profuse vomiting and diarrhoea - all of which contain high concentrations of infectious virus.

But the disease can also have a long incubation period of up to 21 days, meaning that people can be unaware for weeks that they are infected, and not feel or display any symptoms.

This, it seems, is what allowed the Liberian visitor Thomas Eric Duncanto to fly to the United States and spend several days there unaware that he was carrying the deadly virus, before being diagnosed and isolated.

So ... the US is ignoring facts (it can be spread by asymptomatic persons, it can be spread by aerosols, it is spread by air traffic) and instead relying on dogma (we can handle it).

At what point does hubris become stupidity?

USA !!! USA !!! USA !!!

And the WHO says that spread of Ebola to Europe is inevitable. The reason why?

"Such imported cases and similar events as have happened in Spain will happen also in the future, most likely," Ms Jakab told Reuters.

"It is quite unavoidable ... that such incidents will happen in the future because of the extensive travel both from Europe to the affected countries and the other way around," she said.

But still no travel ban. What's the reason?
