It's things like these that make me sometimes thankful I can't afford to travel further than Nevada.


believe me that aint gonna help, given the author chats about a couple US native diseases in the book smirk plus there is the whole air travel thing and as MILES pointed out, you cant quarantine off somewhere the size of West Africa from the rest of the world......hell one other he talks about in the book just popped up recently and it didnt show up in some third world backwater, it showed up and was discovered in suburban Australia and no one had ever seen it before in an area that had been settled for over a century....brand new disease related to rabies
