ebola

[StarWarsGirl]

While I'll admit that it was disturbing that the healthcare workers caught Ebola and that one of them was given permission to fly when she was starting with the symptoms, there are so few cases right now that while it is good to be prepared and use extreme caution when dealing with Ebola patients, no, it does not prevent me from going to WDW. There are far more diseases that you would be more likely to catch and die from, unless you want to live in a bubble...

There is no Ebola threat.

People who ride Splash Mountain topless could very well get infected by Ebola.

They often do, according to my statistics. It's tragic, but I can't say they didn't deserve it

So I noticed that so far you have started threads about fights, power outages, fire alarms, asbestos removal, and now ebola. I just want to get out in front of this...

I have not witnessed floods, earthquakes, a riot, bubonic plague, or athletes foot at WDW. No sandstorms or malaria either.

I am just seeing if the ebola situations causes you to change trip planes, etc

It's like that kid in Gamera vs Guiron who kept going on about traffic accidents.

No need to worry about Ebola ruining your WDW experience. TDO is partnering with the CDC and they are putting Frozen overlays on all the major hospitals.

does the ebola situation prevent you from going to WDW?

No, the park being closed right now does. (2AM)

There have been only 2 transmitted cases in the US out of how many millions of people? There will be more (and I hope I'm wrong), but this wont't stop me from going anywhere. For now.

There is a good chance they will have an effective vaccine within the next year and a half.

But only, what, 1 in the US? Maybe 2? So, odds are still pretty darn good of getting to Florida and back alive. Win!

Yeah you're more likely to die of an undiagnosed heart condition than die of Ebola at Disney.

 

[THEMEPARKPIONEER]

This whole Ebola threat is more out of hand then the disease itself

 

[Sudcaro- Sudcaro]

Ebola is very scary, but we can't stop living altogether. So we are still going there, and elsewhere...

Two contracted in the U.S., neither of whom have died as yet.

Brain eating amoebas are more deadly to US citizens than Ebola

You know, this a perfect setup for a joke about TDO executives.

 

[ninjaprincesst]

I live near Fort Worth, TX so I will feel safer at Disney than I do here.

I think the OP has gotten an answer. No, at this point, the majority of people are not changing any travel plans (unless visiting certain Africans countries with an ongoing epidemic was on their bucket list) so there is no need for further discussion. In fact. I still wouldn't hesitate to visit relatives in Dallas. Although the niece who insisted that anyone visiting her newborns had to have a DPT booster is probably freaking out a bit.
