I am certainly missing your point (if you made one) about reading the news this week? So I am clearly not smart enough to understand how a news article about the possible decline of Ebola in West Africa has anything to do with the point I attempted to make?
I apologize in advance for my ignorance and look forward to you dumbing down your last remarks for me.
You were clear enough the first time. So was I.
No one really knew how fast it would continue to spread. Viruses often mutate.
I thought it was smart to play it cautious. Others saw it was not transmitting very readily, in it's current form, said it wasn't medically necessary to be overly cautious. The military took the cautious route while civilians did not.
Now that the outbreak appears to be under control the less cautious appear smart. I don't think they were smart, just leading a life of privilege and lucky.
You noticing it didn't continue to spread is indeed hindsight.
