[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] Your purportedly one-sided risk/benefit analysis does not take into account the realities of the risk, which is relatively small for a non-airborne hemorraghic fever that kills as quickly as Ebola does. The risk of some sort of uncontrolled and widespread outbreak based on one patient crossing the border is basically nil.[/quote]
