The ebola situation

I'm curious to know what a lot of you think should be done about this situation. Obviously we aren't in any position to do anything really but I'd like to know what your opinions are. What would be the best solution to stop the spread?

I've heard people say that there should be a 30 day quarantine of the countries that have the virus, no one gets in no one gets out. The people in the states that have it, their friends and family who have been in contact, all isolated by force if necessary for 30 days.

I've also heard people say that just treating them as they come in I'd all we can do.

What do you guys think? In addition, because this is so sudden and so quick to kill, do you think this is nature's way of eradicating our large population and do you think it will do so?

Its not just that simple. You can have Ebola without knowing you have it, it takes up to 4-5 weeks just for the symptoms to slowly develop. Not only that but there is still speculation on when the virus becomes contagious. Some say it is when the symptoms start to develop, however others disagree.

The situation in Dallas is getting worse day by day, up to 80-100 people as of yesterday were possibly infected by patient 0. Now an NBC camera man is also infected. Obama has sent 3,000 troops to help battle Ebola, and is now pledging close to 600 additional troops. This will get worse before it will get better.

How to stop it? Hard to say because now America is infected, from an American standpoint, its going to be extremely hard to do so. For the rest of the world? Cut off all flights and traffics from countries that have Ebola infected people.

But in all seriousness, that makes no sense at all to me.

"President Bush... what are your thoughts on Katrina?"

President Bush: "We're gonna find her.... and we're gonna bring her to justice!" *proud, determined smirk on face*

:silly:

Until we develope a vaccine, a cure, and/or an early detection method it seems like after the fact quarintines are our only real option. It's not easy or quick, but if we can eventually get all infected people quarintined away from the uninfected and let nature take its course then it should stop there.

Like the plagues of the middle ages, this will pass. It's just a matter of how many pass with it.

In addition, because this is so sudden and so quick to kill, do you think this is nature's way of eradicating our large population and do you think it will do so?

This is a possiblity. As jedi we believe in balance and the earth is getting a little crowded. Nature has corrected other problems on it's own before, we're just the first species that can really fight back.

I'm a tad bit confused on the relevance of this to Ebola? Also, that isn't a true quote. That is a quote from a stand up on comedy central.

Earth isn't over-crowded. If everyone consumed like the average (average meaning not the richest nor the poorest, just in the middle) citizen of India, our planet could support about 18 thousand million of us. So, it isn't a problem of us being too numerous. The problem is that we don't all consume resources like the average citizen of India ... We have to have cars, iPods, hair-dryers and Kentucky Fried Chicken ... That is what makes us need three or four additional planets-worth of resources.

Epidemics wouldn't be nature rounding down our numbers to something more convenient ; it would be our screwed-up value system coming back to bite us in the arse. :S

Time to colonize mars then. Haha.

I think every thing will be fine just don't have contact with other living beings body fluids. I think I read this and aids started with eating uncooker animal flesh and the virus migrated to and infested other body fluids?
