What if anything is Disney doing cosidering the Ebola threat

I don't even know if there is anything that they are able to do.
Just seems like a whole lot of people from a whole lot of different places in one place.
I don't panic about this, but I sure think that we should all be vigilant about washing our hands and covering our coughs and sneezes.

What if anything is Disney doing cosidering the Ebola threat

1) Nothing.
2) There is absolutely zip that a park can do.
. . . can't ask everyone if they have a fever
. . . can't ask everyone if there were to Africa lately
. . . can't ask everyone if they know or came in contact with an ebola person
3) Ya do da parks and you take yer chances.

I beleive that to be true overall.
Just don't see how they could possibly police it.
I know they try.

First you have to start with the facts on contracting it. It is not an airborn disease which is why it doesn't not have an explosive and exponential rate of infection.

It is transmitted through contact of an infected persons bodily fluids or items that have been contaminated by said fluids.

I would be more concerned with the workers cleaning rooms, bathrooms and the public restrooms then the general vacation population contracting it first. Do I think the US media has turned this in a hyperbole of fear.....yes, yes I do. I think it is news mention worthy, but not to the degree they been harping on it for weeks spreading and amping up the fear factor.

jbrostek has it right.

Influenza is honestly a much bigger REAL risk for killing someone at WDW this season than Ebola.

I know it is the media darling right now, but it can be contained and managed. Other African countries have proven that. Unfortunately most healthcare workers in the US are inadequately trained to appropriately protect themselves. The 2 worker's exposure in Texas will certainly accelerate the education and management programs.
