Does this mean we are all going to die soon?

A doctor was speaking about this on bbc news, I felt reassured that such an outbreak like this could not happen in UK as we are more equipped to deal with it but who knows.

I don't think cooler weather is going to stop it. They "say" it's not as easily spread like influenza but all it's going to take is someone coming to visit you who just happened to bump into someone who bumped in someone who just came back from SW / Central Africa and you can be dead.

And so it seems, some airlines are taking precautions (for what they would be worth):

Now it comes out that Thomas Eric Duncan knowingly lied when he was being screen for Ebola contacts before he left Liberia. He knew he'd been exposed to the disease and still crossed the Atlantic and exposed others. The president of Liberia say Duncan will be prosecuted when he returns.

But... I know for a fact there have been HIV/AIDS patients who have knowingly exposed others. They've been prosecuted and locked up to protect the public. Should this be done to Duncan to discourage others from doing the same thing he did?

It all depends on whether he knew he was sick and purposely spread the disease. Of course, he might not have known how the disease spread and so didn't know he could become infected. Most people who spread HIV/AIDS don't do it on purpose. Usually there was an accident that caused them to infect others. There have been examples of people infected with HIV/AIDS knew they had it and purposely had unsafe sex or shared needles to infect others. If he had this intent, then yes he should be punished but otherwise, he should be left alone. How many times have you gone out with a cold or flu symptoms and passed it on to others just because you had to go out? I went to school sick multiple times. The flu can be fatal.

Also the disease lives and replicated in the human body, so the outside temperature doesn't matter. Your body temperature is what matters and we stay around 98 degrees all the time and so does our fluid. Now some diseases like HIV/AIDS can't survive long after being exposed to air but then Hep-C can stay alive a lot longer once exposed to air. Nothing dies when it is exposed to air but if it has to stay in a moist environment like our body, the air helps to dry the blood, bodily fluid and then the virus dies because the environment becomes hostile.

I imagine that the people with no access to health care or no income would be the last to seek medical help....thus spreading it to a point where it will not be containable

Health Care with no public option may end up being a death penalty to those who opposed it.

The irony doesn't escape me.
