Anybody else starting to pay a little more attention to this situation? Since the initial outbreak earlier this year it's been on my radar, but I figured it would burn itself out like similar outbreaks that have been reported in the past. After reading an article about an American who developed symptoms while on a flight from Liberia to Nigeria, and died after being quarantined in Nigeria, this situation has my attention.
I don't think it's an imminent threat, and I'm not throwing my BOB in my BUG to GOOD before the SHTF and it goes from SNAFU to TARFU to FUBAR. However, the guy was on his way back to the states when this happened. Here's a link to the article, and a chart of the outbreak's progression:
