Imagine if Ebola had hit our shores again instead of COVID?

Ebola kills a high percentage of its hosts. It’s R0 is only 1.5 and it is normally spread by body fluid contact.

This combination makes it much less likely to become a global pandemic that cannot be controlled than COVID-19.

why you gotta ruin it tho

Imagine if Swine Flu in 2009 was as deadly as Ebola.
Half the country would have been dead.

Diseases that kill a large percentage of their hosts self-limit themselves from becoming a pandemic.

Covid-19 has already filled all of us with so much negativity. I don’t want to think of anything negative. I am hopeful that the New Year 2021 will come as a good omen and make everyone’s life better.

Imagine a real I.D. doc making statements like that without the proper caveats.

Diseases that kill a large percentage of their hosts self-limit themselves from becoming a pandemic.

If this were Ebola instead of Covid,The US would still have the most cases and deaths in the world just as we did with Covid.

I remember seeing an officer of a small biotech... maybe she was president of it.. stating they were working on a Ebola vaccine.

I wonder if it was an mRNA type vaccine and also funded by DARPA also.
