Here is a comforting fact: Lassa fever, another horrifying hemorrhagic disease that kills about 5,000 people in West Africa every year, has been imported into the United States by travelers seven times in recent years, with no known case of transmission. The most recent case: 2014 2004 Although as a hypochondriac I had very mixed feelings about bringing infected patients to us soil. I had to be reminded that this is thier soil too. This is where I would want to be if I was that sick. I wouldnt want to be stranded in Africa by a country I called home. The fact is I think we are worrying about the wrong virus. Im more concerned with seasonal influenza it is 100% more contagious and just as deadly. Also the mortality rate in a 3rd world county can never be underestimated that it is due to the poor health, sanitation and medical knowledge in that country. I say the American spirit is that of the affected doctor who refused an experimental treatment so the other woman patient could have it. To me he is a hero not a zombie. It is his heart that led him to his line of work and the American spirit that made him travel there to help the sick. I will not worry.. I will pray not just for the healing of these patients but the healing of our thought process (including me) in this great county # Donald Trump
