So, is Ebola over, or is there more to come?

Seems like the embers in the fire are dying out. Two nurses getting better. Africa dude unfortunately died. CDC has it under control.
Everything simmering down. Can we all go home and relax now, or is there a Part Deux that will blindside us?

Depends on whether our astute administration allows anymore infected patients to enter our country.

Where's this?
Not disputing it, just haven't seen such info. Of course, one being diagnosed yesterday, I'm not sure how we could draw such a conclusion at this point.

She went to Emory. They cured 100% so far.

Unfortunately Ms. Amber Vinson was extremely careless and I suspect she is still not being 100% truthful about when she was symptomatic, etc. Therefore we are probably running a decent risk there and won't be totally in the clear until Nov 3rd, but very likely to be able to breathe easy before Halloween.
I don't believe that we will see another import of the virus as it was by a pretty unique set of circumstances that he made it here. That plus the fact that he died and the family has been outspoken about his shoddy care should reduce the odds.
Edit: There is also the case of the NBC News crew that is in isolation, but that is lifted on the 22nd and they only had brief interactions with him when he first started showing a slight fever on Oct. 1. His fever elevated that evening when he was at home.
Of course we will have headlines if the news guy or either of the nurses die.

But now that it's gone, he gets the praise, right?
Posted on 10/16/14 at 11:03 am to Traffic Circle
I would say no to that

Who else can impose travel restrictions from the impacted areas, if you dare be so bold as to answer.

Why do you believe this?

I wouldn't be relaxing for 21 days if I had been on the plane with her.
Also, I heard this morning from tv news that the plane she was on was used four other times before it was santitized after she deplaned in Texas. In fairness, I haven't heard that statement made again in the last 4-5 hours though.

It's the airlines fault. They need to cancel flights from there.

Travel restrictions won't help. It's the same reason stricter gun regulations don't help, if people really want to get here they will, just like if someone really wants a gun they'll still get one.
It's not like it's hard to get into the country illegally, and once they're here and in our hospitals we won't send them back.

Its being reported she contacted the CDC before boarding the plane and received their blessing to fly.

So, using your analogy; why even do background checks since it's just going to happen anyway.
Posted on 10/16/14 at 11:10 am to Traffic Circle
I'm about over it. Time to book a vacation.
Posted on 10/16/14 at 11:12 am to bamarep
Well we can control it better if we are doing background checks on everyone we can. If we don't comepletely block travel people are less likely to come in illegally and without notifying us.

quote:Most of the reasoning is in what you quoted. Duncan already had a visa and ticket, and visa's from those areas are likely becoming harder to come by.
Why do you believe this?
And with the stories of poor care he received out in the public, anyone who is sick would be less likely to go through the trouble. At least Dallas should be safe from here on out.
