Um, lets not bring any cases into the US, mkay.
Its best to let nature run its course. Sending in doctors and shit is counterproductive.

Isn't this just the third or fourth year of the same "epidemic"? Remember, we were supposed to have been wiped off the face of the earth a year or two ago because 2-3 Americans were brought back here for treatment?

The only one who died that I recall flew here on his own and died. I think two other healthcare workers were actually brought here for treatment, (they were Americans) and they both survived as did the one or two infected by the first guy so was it smart? I guess you'd have to ask the two he brought here that lived. Seems like two saved and no fatalities worked out ok. I guess we could have left them in Africa.

If it hadn't been for the public outcry they were going to fly in many more.
The hospital my wife works at was designated as one of 3 hospitals in our state that was going to receive ebola patients. The run down they gave the senior staff left most of them less than enthused.
Anything we can do here for these people can be done in Africa and in fact several facilities were built by the US and a few European countries to do just that. That's how they ended those particular outbreaks.
Bringing in something as contagious and nasty as ebola into your country is not smart. It seems especially insane if its A: not necessary, or B: if you are one of the people who will have to have direct contact with them.
Are you volunteering?
I'm not going to argue with you. As someone with no medical training I would no more volunteer to treat someone with Ebola than I would pneumonia. That wouldn't be smart for the patient. The facts are there is another Ebola outbreak in Africa. Shit happens. The sky didn't fall the last time and won't this time either.

Is ebola the one they got for kissing the apes, or having sex with them? I forgot. Wait, I think it was AIDS they created by having ape sex, so this must be just from the foreplay.
Sorry. It's hard keeping with with African diseases....they create so many over there.

I have to add the following to this ape sex discussion.

I too wondered how ebola died out in the US and even in Africa so quicky, considering how it was wiping out communities in Africa so easily. If it's spread like smallpox, it's just a matter of the wrong conditions being met, with smallpox the spores are so fine they move with any wind current, the spores can float up walls and ingress a building from outside by upstairs open windows just like smoke, more or less if you have line of sight/no barrier contact with a smallpox victim you're fucked. I dunno how ebola is spread.
