You don't.In Senegal the individual was identified and quarantined.In Nigeria,one man caused 20 cases and 8 deaths.The case in the Dallas will reveal how the scenario you've described can play out considering he was symptomatic for 5 days before being quarantined.


this is the keyword!


Unreported/undetected is more worrisome.You can't contain or treat what you are not aware of.


Yes, especially for a disease still in its 'infancy'.

I am reminded of 'Cuban Twitter' ZunZuneo and USAID.

Even in times of disaster comic relief is not that bad.

"Critics' have 'complained'!

Yeah!!! Right!!!




of course we will be reminded of Amnesty international reports until the cows come home... some people need to realize that the world is changing and moving forward.

Ebola Could Reach the U.S. By the End of This Month

Quote:
There is an 18 percent chance that a case of the Ebola virus will reach the United States by the end of September, according to a study published on Tuesday in PLOS Currents: Outbreaks.


Global threat of Ebola: Scientists plot spread of deadly disease

Quote:

50% chance of hitting UK within three weeks

Estimate a 75% chance of the virus reaching France in that time

Belgium has a 40% chance of the disease reaching its shores, while Spain and Switzerland have lower risks, at 14% each

Knowing full well he had been exposed he still got on an available plane and flew in a flight!

Surely!

Could that be a contributing reason he is not getting medication?

What could have happened if the flight was not there to start with?

oh yeah... it's these white folks believing that they have to be the first to do stuff. on a different matter... have you noticed discussions of superiority have always to be white defended? oh... Whites have higher IQs than Blacks... Oh... Whites have.... than X. While asians who have better culture and consequently better IQs e.t.c. don't even care about these discussions.

Most people would do the same if they were in his shoes. If you know you might have Ebola, either you stay in Liberia and wait to die or go to a place where treatment might secure your survival.

@alba is right... perhaps that was the same reasoning yule jamaa mwingine alikuwa nayo... it works but it kills others. Patrick Sawyer knew he had it and thus tried to avoid contact with people (there are videos of him refusing to shake hands with people) - that one was heading to the US to get treated there.

For this second jamaa.... If I were him..I would get to the states... and isolate myself for 21 days then see if smellystuff hits the fan if it does I walk into the ER and inform them.

"We have confirmed that dengue and chikungunya viruses are a cause of concern especially because they start like malaria hence tricky to identify," said Francis Mutuku of the Health ministry.

The news against what has been a bad week for Africa, after a Liberian exported Ebola to the US, Kinshasa was confirmed to have been the source of HIV, a resurgence of Marburg fever in Uganda, and Kenya was accused of transporting a virus called O'nyong-nyong to Europe.
