High-Risk Ebola: what were the chances it could have reached France and UK?

According to Medical Daily, scientists had calculated a 25% chance the Ebola virus disease would not come to Europe before October 25. The study had been conducted to size up the threat of a pandemic in Europe in wake of the virus' expansion across Liberia and other parts of West Africa.

So we were looking at a 75% chance that it would be spread into Europe. How did these experts come to agree on such a high number? Let us investigate.

Deep in the report, we see a consideration for the fact that a large number of West Africans know former West Africans who have moved to France, and would have likely attempted to seek shelter with such contacts in France if the virus had spread into West Africa.

Beyond that, France was in danger of being exposed to the virus because Charles de Gaulle Airport, located by Paris, is a major transfer point for flights out of West Africa. It is one of the world's top-ten busiest airports, second in Europe only behind Heathrow Airport, in the United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom had a slightly lower risk of seeing the virus than France, but experts concluded that the country would nevertheless be in danger because Heathrow is a major hub for international transit, including passengers arriving from West Africa, perhaps even in en route to France.

Interestingly, if both France and the United Kingdom had closed their airports to flights from the regions fighting the epidemic, the report claimed the risk dropped to 25% and 15%, respectively.

As I write, it appears that Ebola has been contained. But it is alarming how the government of the United States seemed quite adamant about not shutting down flights from the disease-ravaged areas of Africa that were affected - even after an Ebola-carrying West African arrived on American soil and created a brief scare in Texas. What does this mean for the future, if there is another or similar outbreak in Africa?

One time in an airport, I was singled out for a random security check and security confiscated an empty beer can that I was trying to bring back with me as a family souvenir. Another time, a drug-sniffing beagle found an orange peel from my in-flight snack as I stood in line in front of customs. This led to my bags being opened just to prove that I didn't have real fruit. So beer cans, orange peels - none of these items can come into our countries but someone flying in alone from a mass epidemic area can?

Priorities through globalist ideology. But here is the thing: if you live by a flawed ideology, then you just may die as a result of it, too.
