The CDC said there were nearly 1000 bubonic plague deaths in the US between 1900 and 2010. Between 2000 and 2010, the average was 7 per year. Why is it that no one is screaming l "BLACK DEATH!" and running through the streets?

I predict this will all go away on Wednesday.

Fresh outbreak in Sierra Leone.

This thing will change - incubation times will stretch out (we have seen some of that already - even now breast milk can spread it for weeks to months).  Mortality rates will go down - otherwise the virus won't be able to replicate/propagate.

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

I certainly applaud the Tulsa County Health Department for being diligent in following up.  But was it really necessary to release information that we had a “potential” ebola case in the timeframe they did that?  Less than 12 hours later, we find out it’s malaria.  How many people showed up at ER’s around the area in the last 12 hours with a slight fever, in a total panic, thinking they might have had contact with this guy? KRMG should get the Everest award for their effort on this molehill.

Other than the state taking an old OU Medical building out of mothballs to use as an infectious ward in OKC, the local health departments are who is running the show (or at least managing the media).
Personally, I feel much better knowing the passenger EMSA wheeled thru the middle of Tulsa International Airport only had malaria.  Roll Eyes
