Why can't there be an Ebola outbreak in mexico. WHY!

'

I know right

Dafuck? So you want there to be a deadly virus, that kills 60-90% of those affected, in Mexico just so you can benefit and get papers? You have a sick mind..

I remember when Mexico had the H1N1 virus it was deadly but we never got paper, so if Mexico got Ebola they would not do anything

Lmao so true

Ebola spreads through bodily fluids and general filth. As long as you do not go to the bathroom in the same creek you take your water from you'll be fine. If you catch it - well then only thing that can be done is to put you into quarantine, give you IVs and medications for secondary infections, and hope that you push through.

However the shit that is going on in Africa is mind boggling. You have people outright denying that ebola exists (including politicians), resorting to shamanism, chasing health workers away, and even breaking their sick relatives out of quarantine in hospitals. Idiocy and lack of hygiene is responsible for this outbreak, which has been very very slow there has been a little over 1000 casualties so far, that is less than 36,000 that die from the common flu in US alone per year. People just shit their pants about it because ebola is treated like the pinnacle of human diseases by the media, in all reality:
1) It's not airborne.
2) You are not infectious until you develop the symptoms.
3) It hits you like a bag of bricks. Once you develop symptoms you'll likely be praying to be dead soon, and not going around infecting others.
