I am very concerned about this virus based on what i know/don't know about our preparedness for an epidemic.

I know that labs, hospitals, the CDC and the Government working together is a nightmare waiting to happen. The Government is slloooowwww to react and take responcibility, the CDC says States need to be in charge. Do labs have the ability to handle this type of special virus for a large number of blood samples? Do mortuaries know what to do?

We have begun to take precautions here...stockpiling food, water, gloves, masks, sanitizer and other household items, in the event that we need to stay out of public areas as much as possible. If not needed for this, then we have better earthquake supplies! Lol

While i know theorectically we are in much better shape than Africa is to fight the spread, we have seen how easily (sending home Mr. Duncun with a 103* fever, or a careless hospital) ebola is spread. What if he had gone to a sporting event and sneezed on a few people, or used the restroom and body fluids might have mingled on the faucets or door handles?

Or worse yet, what if somebody infected WANTED to infect others as with HIV/AIDS? One person infects 5, who infect 25, who infect?????
