I know it's scary, but I'd rather the government make preparations now and not wait.
They may have to take some drastic action to contain a local outbreak.

It would have been already all over the media, why? because like that people will be so worked out on a frenzy that any vaccine will be good no matter what.
Remember pandemics means profits.

Us hasn't had an ebola case because the reservoir animal is in Africa. If we imported African fruitbats and they thrived here it might be a different story.

You know beezzer ebola has never been close to US borders, but has been brought to us by our own government when allowing two infected Americans and then a third one to come to the US for treatment.
What that tells you, ebola is not natural in the US or any area of these side of the hemisphere, but somebody is doing everything they can to bring it as close as home as they can.
It makes no sense.

Well, I can't see how just 3000 troops will make a huge difference in Africa, given the exponential numbers infected they could be dealing with, but - I'm sure deploying to a medical hot zone to provide field hospitals and perimeter security will certainly be a crash course when it comes here.

I have absolutely no problem with martial law if an outbreak occurs in the US. I won't be attempting to travel because like some others have said, I'll be under my own unique form of quarantine.
Forced vaccination? Nope, not going to happen here. That's where my line in the sand is drawn. I'd much rather die quickly of a gunshot wound that to die slowly from their toxic mixes.

The fact is in a modern nation ebola is not much of a threat. It is easy to contain. However in 3rd world nations where medical facilities barely exist it can be very bad. In the US it would require only that medical staff do their job, it is easy to deal with.
