One good thing about Atlanta-- Emory. Special unit with 4-6 beds designed for treatment of highly contagious diseases like Ebola and similar.
Yeps, thats (the?) one good thing.

4-6 beds is laughable for a country of 370 million. What's more laughable is that hemorhagic fevers have long been considered the most dangerous infectious diseases on the planet, and thats the best we can do. I worked for years as a nurse near Atlanta, and we had zero effective training and literally no protective equipment for such a scenario. The medical reasoning seems to be is that the disease is so virulent that it will burn itself out rather than spread widely. Hell of a thing to be betting on.

And airplane flight to DFW or JFK or IAD or LAX and guess what.
Well, better yet, walking across the border to a CBP station and processing in that big facility with all those people going everywhere.
Need not mentioning here but anyway-- remember 3Bs plus 2.

Just wondered about the fatality rate.
DuckDuckGo does pretty good.
