Barry. I don't understand your post.
AT THIS TIME, WE are relatively safe. But what if it was your daughter on that medical team, or what if you found you sat next to that nurse on her flight?
This is a disease if contracted has a 90% mortality rate. One that has no immunization and no treatment. The doctor that survived gave his blood to the woman that survived so it is possible that antibodies are the answer but to effectively make a treatment available to the masses is years away.
We have no crisis at this point, and that is the time to act, not when we have people entering hospitals with untrained teams and moving about spreading the disease before it becomes evident they are sick.
I am confused as to why those who are usually to the political left are the ones making light of it, joking about it and dismissing it.
Am I being not "cool" to worry about it? I sure as hell don't want to be "uncool".
Not directing this at you Barry, because I have the utmost respect for your intelligence, science and know you are both fair and kind.
I am really confused about why all people don't see that something unusual and difficult must be done NOW to save us from an epidemic of Ebola.
