It is nearly impossible for Ebola to spread in the US
Yeah, panic is not warranted, but the title is not supported by the underlying data.
All you need is for a local outbreak to exceed the capacity of local med facilities to manage it with the a great level of care that thus far have been applied. Run out of the hospitals' storm troopers (intensive care / trauma nurses & docs and similarly oriented techs) and you start moving into the more mundane sort. A great many of whom are products of duh-versity quotas/grants(1), political pull (county hospitals), and the mania to put charting before all else. Treating a patient with ebola while adhering to best practices is a far cry from taking care of little old ladies who just got a lap chole.
A "better" place for an outbreak in Texas is along the southern border, where the illegals have already destroyed the health care infrastructure. Del Rio or Brackettville or Marfa for instance.
(1) Two Bill Gates scholarship snowflakes who work as PCAs got their RN education at Really Expensive Private School paid for by Bill Gates' foundation. Lots of bragging about how well she was going to do, but she managed to cock up her cert exam. Her almost-RN cert cost ~20x what we paid for my wife's RN ejjumication.
I take it you never took a microbiology class in college?
Here is a real quick primer:
For a body fluid transmitted virus to become tough enough to be airborne would take a lot of evolution. Viruses are not living organisms like bacteria, they are an RNA chain coated in protein. Ebola has a pretty weak protein shell and would have to go through millions if not trillions of mutations to develop a thick enough protein coat that will allow the RNA inside to stay viable outside of the host for an extended period of time carried by a different vector. A virus can only multiply inside the living cells of a host by combining with the host's RNA.
All well and good. But it seems that other related viruses have made the jump, such as the outbreak of Reston virus a few years back. Thankfully, was not transmitted to human (Correction: I think it was transmitted to humans but has not yet mutated so as to cause us great harm to humans just yet. Tough on baboons, though.). But similar enough to ebola to be misdiagnosed as such, IIRC. And there was the case of ebola that was transmitted over a distance at the Army facility between the baboons. No explanation yet, but it is hopeful that it was from some excessive sputum becoming an aerosol in the confines of the lab.
[Oh, I see Balog got to the Reston bit.]
