From what I can tell, one of the big reasons this has become much larger than past situations is the constant shuffling of dead bodies back and forth, especially across borders. All this to allow bodies to be buried in their home countries and families. I get the emotional connection. Everything from trucks to taxi cabs are being used. None of them are being decontaminated. The end result random hot spots keep cropping up with absolutely no containment.
If this gets to a big city down there, it will reach pandemic levels.
on top of the "you probably shouldn't touch those person's liquid wastes including anything that might have sweated on without a bio haz mat suit that is properly sealed and has a proper decontimantion process so you can get out of it"
this is kind of overwhelming in relation to just about every norm form of influenza
That question I'd really prefer to ask to the people on the ground and in the trenches of this thing are recommending. Not the people thousands of miles removed. While they may have the "big picture". They are the ones who were so far removed, they took months to realize the magnitude of the problem.
Is isolating the realistic? Probably not.
Is it part of the tools available. Yes.
Should it be used? Debatable. It is ineffective if not everyone does it for all people, regardless of "declared point of origin". You have to assume the person trying to gain access is lying.
On top of it, every point of entry has to be capable of handling the ones that fall through the cracks.
Insanity, do the same things over and over and over again, and expecting different results.
The other point is: Those that don't study history are doomed to repeat it.
Unfortunately, those decision makers are taking lives and resources away to do it, guns vs butter.
And the on the other hand, the not doing of anything will only lead to big mess. We can't unmake the disaster, so now we must figure out how to minimize the danger of it.
Claim to be filling on behalf of "celebs" in hopes of actually drawing celebs to actually sign up. Throw a number so large out there the celebs will think "Hey, I can benefit from this."
Law firm may not have even a single client yet. Threatening to sue is not the same as actually filling.
I think the only reason I have HTC Sync Manager on my computer is so that it installed the appropriate USB driver doohickey thingymajingys so that ADB and Fastboot would work correctly. Other than that, I only used it long enough to be confused as to what its purpose is. Software to solve problems that don't exist?
Layoffs in the USA, and hiring increases elsewhere.
I remember a few years back reading how MS was proclaiming that they weren't increasing their H1B hirings. However, they were achieving the same results by doing it in Canada instead.
Hmm.... Assuming that your backing contributes to the big picture success, is like saying I bought a Hershey's chocolate bar, so I should be part of their financial success.
In the vast majority of kickstarter campaigns that reach their objectives, they do not have giant pay outs down the road. Would you expect to be part of their down the road success? What if it takes 5 more years? Do you still expect to be part of their payout?
I will never understand why some backers think their tiny financial contribution should somehow be worth more than the 90% perspiration and 10% inspiration that the originators put into it.
Hey Project A only asked for $10k and somehow ended up at $500k! We deserve some of that profit!
Never mind that now the developers need to change their entire ordering, tooling, assembly, quality assurance and shipping strategy.
People in this mindset expect ownership without any work or risk.
I feel the same way when any site makes me do some stupid 20 click throughs to read an entire article.
The multiple clicks pissing me off has reached the point of 1 now. If your presenting information, and you have to make me reload the damn page 10 times to update a little paragraph, you're doing it wrong.
And the medical industry would diagnose the kids as have PTSD and ADHD and medicate the hell out of them as soon as possible.
Yes, I'm rambling.
On a side note, whatever happened to pen pals? Has social media replaced that as well? Get instant notification that the family you visited got blown up...

I don't know whether he was or wasn't a pedophile, but he sure molested a lot of little kids...

Damned if we do, and damned if we don't.
Achievements can be awesome
Could also backfire if achievement includes count of different partners. I guess that would be a different game....

commando is the only way to go
TSA too busy frisking old people, and groping young people and molesting children.
Or the person traveled there on vacation and came back with it.
I think the implied assertion was that people who think spicy = flavor are morons.
In other words, just cause it burns more doesn't mean it tastes better.
A taste bud to nowhere boondoggle
I prefer the Pitfall Harry model. Must leap across the alligators
Yeah, cause I hate downloading all the bloody apps.
On the other hand, doesn't this get close to bundling like the whole Windows and IE issue
On the foot, I usually root and load custom rom on my phone anyway, so this is less of a concern
On the other foot though, that just bloats up the ROM.
On the knee, how many of these apps do I really want? I'd rather be able to pick and choose at time of install.
On the other knee, i want i want i want...
Awww Hells bells...

Wife: Where was Gary last night?
Car: Gary was at the strip club with Larry and Moe.

Probably a rhetorical question
Has any technology that was rushed / pushed after 9/11 actually worked as promised?
Or has it been the usual over hyped marketing pitch "We can solve your problems! And even ones you don't even have!"
Hmm.. I wonder what would happen if this company developed teleporters
Microsoft more interested in making hipster outdated / we are borg commercials than making a real usable product.
