Could My Ultimatum and Recolonization Plan Help Stop Ebola

There is no doubt that medically "something" is better than nothing. However that does not mean that the implementation of basic and sanitary medical procedures would help the country at large. The thermometer test that is currently being run at least in the United States is only effective if the person has some kind of fever. Now symptoms can take place anywhere from 2 to 21 days after infection, and while they include a fever (greater than 38.6"C or 101.5"F) that is not the only symptom. Other symptoms include Severe headache, Muscle pain, Weakness, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Abdominal (stomach) pain, Unexplained hemorrhage (bleeding or bruising). Now since the only thing that we scan for currently is a fever one can induce that Africa is missing a lot of infected patients who are either showing other signs or were tested in the 2 - 21 day window and are not showing symptoms. Admittedly someone could come into the hospital if they were showing these symptoms in order to be tested. However rape and other issues including sexual intercourse are happening in even the most remote places in Africa which can be identified by years upon years of war and civil unrest in the people as they are harassed by warlords. Therefore while they may be screening and quarantining patients they are only doing this to known patients showing the trademark symptoms. Also the burden of proof (obligation to prove ones assertion) lies upon your shoulders as to prove the effectiveness of these quarantines and please elaborate on how rape is being addressed in your plan as you only said that they are "already quarantining people who test positive for Ebola." How many are they testing? What is the accuracy of said tests? These holes in your plan need to be filled not only to ensure that your plan holds water but that I the opposition can fully asses and negate your plan if possible. The next point that you stated was that "African countries currently have hospitals where doctors sometimes don't wash their hands," now I would like to point out the word "sometimes" in this particular stretch of your argument because it also applies to doctors who work in the United States. Doctors do not always wash their hands before a surgery, this is a problem even in developed countries such as the United States (please read pbs article below for a better grasp of the percentages and for relevant information). Now then, overall the United States has around a 97% compliance rating for doctors who wash their hands with the patient reminding and watching them. This translates into the Ebola situation in Africa as it deals with the spreading of disease, if doctors there only wash their hands sometimes then even if we were to get around the 97% of doctors stationed in Africa to wash their hands that still leaves a percentage that is not and are therefore spreading the disease to healthy patients. Human error plays a very large role in the medical world as the wrong cut or incision can mean death, you have not provided any alternate ways to ensure that doctors wash their hands and ensure the safety of their patients when they have more and more coming in every day and have to do exam after exam. Next I would like you to further clarify the clothing standards used in western hospitals, the treatment of Ebola patients and the standards that are implemented as you did not elaborate on this point it leaves it lacking transparency, and since you did not provide any links or obvious examples I do not know exactly what you mean when you refer to the "clothing standards used in western hospitals" and the standards when it comes to "treating known Ebola patients." In the next round if you could at least provide links to support these and make what you mean abundantly clear I would appreciate it, in the mean time below is my sources that will help you get a scope on my side of the argument. -> CDC Signs and Symptoms for Ebola 1. http://www.cdc.gov... -> Testing for Ebola 1. http://www.dailymail.co.uk... -> Washing hands 1. http://www.pbs.org... 2. http://www.sciencedaily.com...
