I'm not canceling my trip to Negril next week, however it would be my luck that I'll contract chick-v, and start displaying symptoms just as I'm leaving Negril. People will freak out thinking I have Ebola, then I'll be quarantined, setting off a wide-spread panic.
All kidding aside, I am a little concerned about how quickly possible ebola cases are popping up all over the country due to air travel. I'll just be extra diligent about hand washing and observing people around me.
Ebola cases are NOT popping up all over the country... and the two that did, did not result from travel, by air or otherwise. You wouldn't know it though, by all the wet panties that we're seeing on the 24 hr "news" outlets.
We really do need to keep perspective. I like the way Caribbean governments are handling this, by refusing entry by people traveling from the affected areas of Africa, as well as by nationals of those countries, until this outbreak blows over. This is how you prevent people from taking side entries... by using good passport control methods.
Now... perhaps the Big Pharm corporations can be convinced that this a battle that's finally worth fighting.
