Actually I'm a guy, I wrote the article last week. I'm a 27 year old male nurse, married for 3 years, 6' 190 lbs, blonde and blue, in case you were wondering.

So far the standard impression is that I am female, and that's understandable, despite the guys name right there on the web page. Regardless, I've been lurking all the forums that posted my article, easy enough to google, but WordPress keeps me updated with every single click I get, an you guys blew it up so I figured I'd check it. I'm impressed how the tone changes every time I join a forum and allow the users to express their concerns directly with the original author.

So, has anyone figured out why we are continuing to let people from Africa fly into the United States and only check their health AFTER they get here?

Dtaylor next time Jeff responds tell this pompous arse it isn't the Ro it's the mortality rate stupid! It's not a matter of how hard it is to catch the virus that matters so much as the percentages that ultimately die. 50% death rate is at the minimal end of the figures I have seen. I'm going to be a hell of a lot more worried about acquiring Ebola than a cold or the flu. I will happily take my chances around a snotty nosed kid with the flu than the same snotty nosed kid with Ebola at any stage.

The matter of how you succumb is a factor too.

As a side note Ro seems to increase exponentially as the disease progresses.
