West Africa is a gigantic petri dish.
There are people there still rubbing sticks together to make fire. 3rd & 4th world tech. Volunteers to help them? Yes. Bring them here for treatments? No. Sent using a long string and 2 Dixie cups

Just because we have an ebola vaccine means nothing the virus could mutate and the vaccine might be useless You don't tug on Superman's cape

Watched a couple interesting documentaries on Africa.
As many of us already know, Africa is resource rich in Gold/Diamonds/oil and so many other things. The documentary showed foreigners (legally/illegally) overseeing the various operations to extract said resources, and of course these same folks amd others (missionaries, travelers) will return to home countries. What is my point? They may already be bringing back Ebola and quarantine will have little impact or be too late. I am fairly confident that our "frenemies" <--(as H.S. kids like to call them), are also looking at using Ebola as a weapon against us. |

As for weaponized ebola, um, no. Such an act would be treated as WMD, and the retaliation would be, well, look at 9/11. It's also a stupid choice to weaponize, because it's not airborne. The amount of genetic engineering to make it airborne greatly reduces the number of actors who can pull off such a feat and is a huge waste of resources -- there are already extant weaponized biological agents, so you'd just choose one of those.

I can't recall if I already mentioned this; I highly recommend the book "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston, about the beginnings of the ebola virus; terrifying.
Another of Preston's books; "The Demon in the Freezer", about infectious diseases and smallpox in particular; also terrifying. |

Don't seem to have learned much in the 30 years since the events in the show. (The at least partially-effective vaccine is nice, though.)

I've been watching this story for a while. There are a couple of youtube channels that have discussed this. One I like for a little different take on the story is Florida Maquis. Some might find it interesting and some will not.

That's pretty scary. Massively crowded conditions combined with a highly infectious disease with a very high mortality rate in a location with poor sanitation and health care.

I wonder if the US descendants of slaves still wish it had never happened and they were still living there now. Slavery was a terrible thing but look at where they might be without it.
