> The solutions you refer to don't exist, or can not be meaningfully deployed. I cite as evidence the article itself. Ebola isn't even all that contagious, really, and if those solutions were the solution to the problem, this article wouldn't have had to be written. Did we read the same article? This article is about the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a nation which does not have closed borders with the rest of the world, and Ebola has not spread beyond it's borders. The DRC does not have adequate medical infrastructure, sanitation or education and therefore the outbreak is occurring there. Europe and the United States do have effective technology, medicine and disease control, so there is almost no risk of a widespread Ebola outbreak here. > once a highly-preventable epidemic sweeps through. Until you present a pathogen with this quality that cannot be controlled in the western world this is science fiction. You might as well argue that xenophobia and authoritarianism will prevail once sentient androids revolt. Until you have evidence the threat actually exists you're arguing based on ideology.
