I picked it up on the Google news site. We are just going to have to live with these problems. The guy came over from W. Africa, Liberia to be exact to visit relatives. Liberia is in the area of the highest outbreak. There are some 5000 persons living in NE Dallas from that area. One being interviewed has been here for 30 years. It is spread only after the symptoms become apparent and incubation period is 21 days max. So suspected contacts have a 21 day isolation they have to endure before they know whether or not they got it. The person bringing it over did not have the symptoms until 4 days after the flight so the passengers on the flight are expected to be immune. It is transmitted via body fluids when the symptoms are present so it's not airborne and if you stay away from the fluids you are ok. A second person has contacted it. My guess is someone in contact with him when he was coming down with the symptoms. Some get over it some don't; 50-50. No current cure.
It's been around for over 20 years but this is the largest outbreak. Maybe because people are more mobile now. I think the article mentioned that there is at least one non stop from over there to DFW airport either daily or weekly.
That's what I learned about it this AM.
When this blows over it will be something else. A never ending cycle of panicing the public. Keeping them distracted, off balance, stressed out.
