There does not appear to be a systematic discussion of the basis for this period.<br /><br />Methods:<br />The prior estimates for incubation time to EV were examined, along with data on the first 9 months of the current outbreak. These provided estimates of the distribution of incubation times.<br /><br />Results:<br />A 21 day period for quarantine may result in the release of individuals with a 0.2 – 12% risk of release prior to full opportunity for the incubation to proceed. It is suggested that a detailed cost-benefit assessment, including considering full transmission risks, needs to occur in order to determine the appropriate quarantine period for potentially exposed individuals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-22207099183059469782014-10-24T15:51:59.600+01:002014-10-24T15:51:59.600+01:00WaPo: The world is in denial about Ebola's tr...<a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/michael-gerson-america-is-still-in-denial-about-ebola/2014/10/23/fe4417e6-5ad8-11e4-b812-38518ae74c67_story.html" rel="nofollow">WaPo: The world is in denial about Ebola's true threat</a> October 23, 2014 7:55PM <br />The Ebola virus has multiplied in a medium of denial.
