I dunno its kinda scarey but then again its not always death just cases.

Miss wrote Ebola can not just go airborne so your rant is invalid.

It can however evolve to be transmitted via airborne methods.

The CDC officially claimed that they are not %100 sure but believe it may be airborne in Atlanta.

Thats the zombie apocalypse for yah. We're all dead now.

Crosby wrote 10 cases a week? CDC is predicting 10,000 cases per week in Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone. People should be worried.

Both the United Kingdom and America are not third world countries.
Those predications are completely irrelevant to what he's saying.

How we finally pay attention to this when it hits our country.

Ebola has been in Africa since 1976, we should have done something about it, so we could prevent it from spreading into different parts of the world.

I guess the United States never expected it to hit. (Shocker)

Ebola outbreaks in the past have been short in nature and the affected area has never been of this scale, what we are seeing is unprecedented. Ebola usually kills too fast for it to spread. Because of the rapid "infection to mortality" time and rate, Ebola usually just dies out and disappears. Ever since the first confirmed outbreak (when Ebola and its relative strains were confirmed as viruses) the US and other countries have always sent aid to help with the treatment and investigation.

The following link shows some of the durations of the outbreaks

One man, who thought it would hit the US is CJ Peters. If you are interested, search for papers that he has written, he is a very experienced Virologist and has an interesting outlook on things. I have to admit that I get lost and don't understand some of his writings, not being a scientist, but I have always found his work interesting. He wrote a book about his experience, Virus Hunter: Thirty Years of Battling Hot Viruses Around the World. His writings will make you cringe and never want to leave the house.

The book The Hot Zone is a good place to start if you want to learn about the past epidemics and what countries sent aid and research teams.

Ebola in 1976 was absolutely nothing like it is now.
If Ebola in 1976 was even half of what it has amounted to now, all of West Africa would have been decimated and first world countries would have been affected then too.

I think what he's trying to say is that this outbreak was unprecedented before it hit the US, but it still gained massive amounts of attention when it did hit the US.
If you look at the chronology of the outbreaks and the number of reported cases [I'm assuming this hasn't been updated in a while] the number of deaths were already well above normal when the first case popped up in the US.

From the article you linked -

What do these findings mean? First and foremost, Ebola is not suddenly an airborne disease.

Furthermore, because human Ebola outbreaks have historically been locally contained, it is unlikely that Ebola can spread between humans via airborne transmission.
