Last week someone here shared an article about Malmo/ Sweden setting up a hospital ward for Ebola patients.
The article stated that there is not a question IF Sweden will see Ebola, but WHEN.
Now (the next week!) Sweden has a case of Ebola.
Maybe we should ask, what a state can do, if a horrible epidemic is threatening to spread?
How useful is the threat of (for example) "Ebola" for a government, to control the public?
State of emergency?
Like France has since two(?) years?
What else would a threatening "pandemic" be useful for?
