#1 This is the disease that "ER" used for its big quarantine plot line.

Since is is West African, can we blame Charles Taylor for it?

#2 We are getting plants and animals from all over the world, with most americans not aware of or caring about the diseases or pests the exotic plants and aminals may carry. The big problem is that people who are in the business care only about how much "product" they can sell and how much their margin of profit is going to be. As long as idiots can import (and sell) irresponsibly, and an ignorant and uncaring population will buy them, then we can expect more of these outbreaks until we get hit with one that will kill or incapacitate most of the population. Terrorism? We have met the enemy, and he is us.
