Sadly, predictable human behavior of not facing reality. I have posted the following back in March 31, 2014 and some SimHQ members just mocked or made fun of the situation:

Now six months later we have our first confirmed case in the mainland. We have to acknowledge that we live in a interconnected world and that things on the other side of the globe affects us sooner or later.

The men in rubber coats will have you first!

A bit ago I saw a TV, and the government is doing the anti-fear campaign. The announcer said that he himself had even hugged recovered victims. My mind flashed back to the photo of the guy in a boat dipping a little cup in the water of a nuclear power plant cooling pond and drinking it, years ago.

Anyway, hopefully it's pretty straight forward to manage. And hopefully there won't be masses crowding emergency rooms wanting tests if they feel ill.

Still, as long as it festers elsewhere in the world, it's something we'll have to be ready to field day to day.

In the story, USA is attacked with a biological WMD which happens to be a strain of the Ebola virus.

Never mind the Clancy novel where an enemy flies a passenger plane into a US government building!

Ebola would make a choice weaponized bug. Its pretty lethal yet can exist out side of hosts for only a vary small amount of time. Well if you think bio warfare is a good idea. Which it is not. Oh and if you have a vaccine for your side. Other wise you have to be stupid to mess with these things. Still the danger exists something weird happens and in goes all pear shaped and does something unintended.

Ignorance and/or not facing reality until it hits you in the forehead is what makes this situation worse. Six months ago it was only about one hundred cases in Africa and some of you said similar things ("Big flippin' deal") and now we have our very first case in our homeland while Africa has confirmed 6,500 infected from which 3,100 already have perished from this Earth. Keep in mind that all of this is ONLY in a period of six (6) months! Read up on the exponential function and add the Ebola variable into it to get an idea of what we are all facing.

I understand your point of view and agree with you on some aspects while keeping vigilant on what is happening.
