Probably the closest thing to a "zombie" outbreak.

Good lord this could turn into a real epidemic. Remember the movie Outbreak?

 
I'm thinking that everyone and anyone travelling from affected countries in Africa need to be quarantined for 21 days, to give time for symptoms to appear.

What a nightmare - let's hope that the experimental vaccines and treatments being used now turn out to be effective and can be made available soon.

My doomsday prediction: this will be stopped but only after radical countermeasures including travel bans and quarantine laws, which will trigger another worldwide recession.

 
We've got to go by Roberts dads gas station / sporting goods store first to get supplies....

^My hope is that this leads to drugs that will cure and hopefully vaccinate against this terrible disease. Until then, I believe that everyone traveling to that area should be quarantined just like you suggested dleg. I'm hopeful that the US can prevent the spread of this disease here.

 
I'm surprised that there weren't already travel restrictions for people coming from these areas. It's like someone is sleeping in the wheel house.

 
I know they said the chances for contagious while on the plane were small, but hopefully the figured out what plane it was gave it a big ass sanitizing enema.

they are in the process of rectifying the problem now.

 
21 day incubation period and a 95% mortality rate. That is a nasty virus....wow.
