Phase 1 human trials of a Canadian Ebola vaccine are beginning today.
The problem with new vaccines (and antibiotics) is that they are expensive to create and test with no certain payback for the investment. These sort of public goods mostly rely on government funding which tends to be insufficient when the threat is perceived to be low and inefficiently allocated when the threat is perceived to be high.
We sure cured erectile dysfunction.

How do you know if your Lawyer is taking Viagra?
Every time you see him, he gets taller...
Absolutely.
But how can you have executive amnesty while closing the borders with West Africa? Can't do both so don't do the latter.
And when a breakout happens in Latin America....
I don't think it's quite that bad but those immediately around the infected symptomatic person are at risk and all who come in contact with the areas of the plane that person has been. If someone in row 300 of the 777 (aren't those planes that big?) is sick, I doubt the 1st class Bourgeoise are at a significant risk. From everything I've read a person has to be symptomatic before the virus is transmissible. The real risk in you scenario is that one person infects 5-10 other people who travel to various parts of the US and create disease clusters in those communities. That is the CDC's greatest fear in a pandemic.

I did see the puppy sniffing bags though, I wonder if he can sniff out Ebola?
Are we still flying the Lagos trip?
WHY?
Ebola sniffing puppy wouldn't last too long.

Eric Duncan checked into a hospital September 25th, it is now three weeks later and another healthcare worker has finally shown symptoms and been appropriately diagnosed. Think she went out to eat, home, grocery store, pumped her own gas? Sneezed? You get the idea. And check multiple sources, ebola has been proven to spread via aerosol among non-human primates. The CDC will simply state is had not been known to transmit via airborne methods among humans. It is SHOCKING Timbo states that no one even had a thermometer in customs and at the same time not all those people would be symptomatic. You get the idea.
13 states are not reporting ebola cases at all.

No question about the disease cluster scenario though (in a small picture way). The big picture is everything the sick person touches can infect every other person that touches it. Then all those people touch something else, etc.
