    Ebola in the USA... Anyone Concerned?

    HEALTH 
    The thing about Ebola is that it spreads exponentially. Globally, the current outbreak begin in December 2013 with just one person. With anything exponential, the beginning seems nearly insignificant. One person infects two, two people infect four, four people infect eight, etc. With a 21-day...

    Ebola in the USA... Anyone Concerned?

    HEALTH 
    It's true that the hospital could have definitely handled it better. But over the last few months, we've all had it drilled into us that Ebola wouldn't arrive in the U.S.A. And even if it did, don't worry, be happy, because Ebola is super hard to catch. (A quick read through this very thread is...

    Ah yes. But unlike Texas, Senegal is allowed to control its own borders. IMO, Texas isn't the problem here.

    Interesting. It appears that my article was written from the perspective of Belize, while your article was written from the perspective of the U.S. Regardless of which one is more accurate, it's fascinating to see the differences, isn't it? It took a few days for the story behind Nurse#2 to come...

    I fear the conversation is getting off-track. Also, I understand the mods have this handy-dandy new power to ban people from specific threads. Lest I see that power in action firsthand, I'll refrain from responding and classify this under "agree to disagree." ChickenHawk glances around the...

    But no matter how much money, power, or resources they get, they still screw it up. They spend their money/power/resources on things of little importance. Then, when it goes to crap, they want more. More money. More power. More resources. And once they get these things, they never want to let...

    I agree with THIS 100%. They're heroic, truly. Sorry if it came across this way. They weren't the ones I was referring to. And, in respect for the forum's rules against political discussion, I'll leave it there. :)

    Oh good lord. Give those incompetent boobs MORE power? They can't even do the things they're SUPPOSED to be doing right. Sorry to be snarky. Really. It's an interesting debate. There's just something about this idea that utterly horrifies me.

    To me, this sounds like a wonderful opportunity. Your readers are hungry for more of the story. Yay! Maybe you could split the difference and write a novella, something 20K words for 99 cents. And then put it in Kindle Select for borrows/ranking. Just an idea!

    I wish I could find the exact article, but a few years ago, I came across a really interesting article that discussed who survived disasters and why. One common characteristic was a willingness to disregard the guidance of authority figures when that guidance made no sense. For example, in the...

    I hadn't yet heard this. There goes my theory that Nurse #2 is blameless. Wow. Just wow.

    Yup! Write another book. :) Not even kidding. My breakout book (Book#1) peaked a full month after its release date, so you still have lots of time for your rank to climb naturally. And... My Book#1 didn't REALLY peak until a few weeks after Book #2 was released. If it were me, I wouldn't...

    I agree wholeheartedly with 99% of your post except for the above statement, because the nurses were following all the protocols, even related to travel. IMO, it's not their fault. It's the fault of those who misled them. They CDC told the nurses they were low-to-zero risk. (Seriously WTF???)...

    IMO, as Americans, we've become complacent. Some would say arrogant. There's a sense of "it could never happen here." But let's look at this... Right now in Dallas, there's a desperate call out for nurses. About 70 (let that number sink in...) health care workers cared for Duncan. Of those, two...

    Ah, a most excellent question. And I agree 100%. You're absolutely right, of course. I guess for me, it's like a slow-motion train-wreck, and I find it nearly impossible to look away. Part of my morbid fascination comes from the fact I used to do P.R. work for the government, and it's an...

    This isn't true. Lots of things happen that aren't in the news, especially if they're deemed a security threat. Also, sometimes the news is voluntarily "embargoed," which means that the news IS there, and known by certain reporters, but kept quiet for a set period of time. I've worked on...
