Well, shit. Ebola has arrived.

I'm very suprised that people on flights out of that area haven't been through a screening process before they are allowed to leave, especially when half the victims won't admit they have it.

The general culture of the victims being "scared" to tell people they are ill, results in the rest of their family, and possibly the whole village dying.

If there was a chance I could infect my family with a killer disease, I would leave in a heartbeat.

to lazy the read all the comments so i'm sorry if anyone has already pointed this out but ebola can't spread out because it kills people very very fast.

i sugest you up on it if your woried about your safety

The results are very disturbing.
Ebola isn't supposed to be very contagious, but just look at the numbers, the cases are almost doubled each month(~93% on average) with 46% mortality rate. Currently, there are close to 7000 cases and over 3000 people are dead.
Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Nigeria, Senegal have poor health care, but still the results are very disturbing IMO.

this can play a role, but the incubation period of ebola is quite long, it can be 3 weeks and the first symptoms are very similar to the symptoms of a cold, so you may not even know about the infection until it's too late

the "problem" which can lead to panic is not the infection itself, but that we have first hand information just about anything literally as soon as it happens thanks to the high level of globalization in every aspect of our lives, if it weren't for the internet or other medias, we wouldn't even know about it at all, unless we would live in a place where it kills people w/ the thousands

the risk to the general population is still very low in developed countries

Perhaps you should do more reading then?

Ebola does spread, as is being proven right across large swathes of West Africa.

It also spreads internationally, as this news report has just proven.

The factors that determine how rapidly a disease spreads are infection rate, incubation period, population density, population movement and mortality rate & speed

The only reason it hasn't spread much in the past is because outbreaks have tended to be in remote areas, which meant that the spread was limited not only by the high mortality rate, but also by the remote and sparsely populated areas the outbreaks happened in (three of the above factors were very low)

With any such disease however, there is always a danger of there being an outbreak in a more heavily populated area - when that happens there is more infection, more rapid spread and therefore more danger of the outbreak rapidly getting out of control.

The other, critical danger in that instance is that an infected person makes an international journey and arrives in a heavily populated city.

And that's what has just happened.

Right now, there is a danger that all of the factors I mentioned above are in play - which is what makes it potentially quite serious.

Depends what symptoms you talk about, the classic ebola symptoms maybe, but if you did blood tests then you could tell if someone was infected.

Basically, just make it a rule that every person who wants to leave the country must have a cleared blood test within 2 days of travel.

It would at least reduce the risk.

And the more the news spreads about "the Western countries curing ebola with their high quality health care systems", the more likely it is that desperate ebola victims will try to make it into our countries to seek help, and therefore increase the chance of it spreading further.

Exactly, imagine a hostel in central New York, and how quickly it could go from an entire hostel infected, into the entire population.
 
Today people are occupied by their devices and surrounding and getting more "lazy" to what going on, there are also a vast number of one want to see more dead and destruction falling down man kind, so no doubt the "black decease" threat not strong enough for most of you guy!

Okay here the scenario, for US is most advance from medical and fast respond to security matters for a certain level but what if things getting out of control?

Why Ebola is dangerous?

Because there are lack of symptoms from 2-21 days after infection - meaning there is a significant window during which an infected person can escape detection, allowing them to travel and spreading widely.

you can make rules just about everything, but it's not really a feasible idea, especially not in Africa
those people who can pay for proper transportation and proper healthcare are most likely not the ones infected w/ ebola, sure there will be one or two out of those too, the suggested rule would filter these people

but the vast majority who's in a lot higher risk are the masses of poor w/ poor health, who have no money whatsoever or other possibility than using illegal channels to transfer themselves from one country to another and you can't control that no matter what rules you make

To add some context, you're talking about the same agency that shipped by mistake twice Anthrax on 2006 plus live botulism bacteria, the agency for which the Department of Health sent official complaints to in 2008, 2009 and 2010 about undertrained lab personnel and improperly secured shipments, the agency that shipped human killer H5N1 instead of harmless bird flu. :o Faith was the right word :o

And don't forget the bottles of Smallpox they found at the bottom of a cardboard box a few months ago.

One of the deadliest diseases known to man, that killed potentially half a billion people - lying in a glass phial, in a cardboard box, in an old storage room.

That's true, but I think the bigger concern is the two airports the guy passed through - all those potential newly infected carriers travelling around the world.

And then there's the plane he was in for all those hours - a contained space with hundreds of people, all breathing the same recirculated air.
 
Ebola is a good name for some app or a social network.
 
This is so weird.... I live in South Africa and this past 2 weeks there has been tons of ads on TV about it! Thought it was one of these African viruses but never realized that it is world wide and so serious.

Funny enough I was speaking to an American lady on Skype last night and out of the blue she asks me: "Are you worried about the Ebola?" hahahaha was a bit races imo lol
