Total and complete BS. A right wing congressman starting a rumor that Fox News is spreading. Simply not true.[/quote]

What would be wrong with it if it were true?  Don't you think we could give adequate care to those poor afflicted people?  We are all human after all.

Why don't they deserve equal care?  It shouldn't be determined by accident of their birth on another part of the planet we call home.  [/quote]

You are either the world's sweetest millennial, or a paid goon.

Taking care of Ebola patients is expensive, messy, and RISKY.

Costs estimated between $18K-$24K per day [url]http://www.marketwatch.com/story/if-you-get-ebola-will-it-be-covered-by-insurance-2014-10-27[/url]

Ebola patients generate 440 gallons of medical waste per day [url]http://news.discovery.com/human/health/ebola-patients-generate-440-gallons-of-medical-waste-daily-141021.htm[/url]

And risky because Pham, Vinson and Spencer became infected despite PPE (full PPE for Spencer). All three have stated that they don't know how or when their exposure happened.

I am also tired of hearing about "the science," because the short history of Ebola in the US points to human error (TX hospital sending a feverish Duncan home, NY cops tossing their gloves in a public trash can) and human arrogance (Spencer out painting the town red while he "felt funny"). Relying only on "the science" can lead to unexpected infections due to unexpected human errors.

We might not get the tidy result we're anticipating.[/quote]
