That's what gets me about this topic and discussion ... the obvious thing to do (as in screamingly obvious) is to err on the side of caution. That's because the disease, if caught, has a 90% fatality rate. Thus, closing down travel from West Africa makes sense. Keep sending medical teams etc into Africa to fight it ... that also makes sense.
But getting wrapped around the axle because no one had died yet and saying no big deal, or comparing it to heart disease and so forth ... I will withhold comment and simply shake my head. I just hope common sense remains in the majority ... sometimes I wonder.
