My quarantine hell.

[Justin]

Does any body beside me fear the possibility that Ebola could be carried by a person that shows no symptoms? Much like Typhoid Mary carried but never appeared sick. I could see a scenario where someone comes back from Africa carrying the virus but never having a fever or any other sign that would get them quarantined. This person then proceeds to infect large numbers of people before anybody figures it out and it's to late to get it under control.

While I suppose it's possible for there to be asymptomatic human carriers of Ebola, it's probably not very likely.

I'd be far more concerned that the disease might get a foot hold in a non-human carrier species like dogs, cats, mice, etc.

If that happens, then it's possible we'd never be rid of it, because there would be a continuous reservoir of the disease out in the wild.
