[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that CDC is voluntarily bringing two ebola patients into the country is insane to me.

The fact that I can do nothing to stop it, or even show my displeasure in any meaningful way, is also frightening.

Leave them where they are - I have yet to find a good explanation of the risk - benefit analysis that makes sense (other than the patriotic but not particularly rational 'they are American and deserve to be at home.' Their desserts do not trump the safety of everyone on the continent).[/quote]

I actually read that the CDC said it was not their decision to bring them home, but the charity's they work for.  The CDC warned them, that it could be detrimal to move a very sick person.  Risks and benefits to the patient's health must be weighed, but the charity decided to go ahead, I imagine they collaborate with the families' wishes, and their must be someone giving the official 'ok' for immigration...
However, the CDC is in Atlanta and they are working on a vaccine I read, so they are prepared.
I don't believe ANY regular Emory personnel will be near this patient AT ALL.
