To no one's surprise, Ebola has made it the the United States. A man in Dallas who came to the country from Africa to visit, apparently contracted Ebola while there. Maybe no one wants to say it publicly, but Ebola is a walking biological weapon available to terrorists. It would be very easy for someone willing to give their life to interact with those who have Ebola, lie about having any contact with someone who had Ebola, and then catch a plane to a major population center in the United States before displaying Ebola symptoms. That person then goes to an event that is well attended, football game, etc. and spreads Ebola to to others before getting too sick to walk around further. You don't have to be a CIA analyst to figure that scenario out.
So, what is our government doing to prevent such an occurrence? Who knows? But, I think I will send my Congressman a quick note and ask her for the answer.
In the meantime, drug companies should start going into major production to manufacture the drug that is supposed to be helpful in combating Ebola. Who knows, a pill that prevents you from contracting Ebola may become the most desired Christmas gift during the upcoming commercial holiday period!
