One of the more disturbing things that has always bothered me has always been the specter of Ebola. Its a nasty and deadly virus. No cure. Your blood waters down then congeals... really vicious. When the Aids epidemic was in full blown panic conditions here in the US The CDC was trying to calm fears. they did several spots on 60 minutes and 20/20 where they talked about how aids was only contagious through contact with bodily fluids... in each case they pointed out some of the worse diseases they had on record that were far more contagious... in each case Ebola was prominently featured... it hadn't been around since the 70's and they would talk about how an outbreak of that would be far worse because, and this is important, it could possibly be transmitted through airborne particles...
what was weird was as soon as the 90's outbreak happened... they were on the air stating that it was fluid contact only and not that big a deal... all traces of the earlier interviews were just gone. This one has reached major cities... I doubt its an airborne version, the deaths would be far greater than 330... but still that's just a bad situation all around . Outbreak conditions are a legit situation to quarantine people against their will. its horrible, but it needs to happen in cases like this
