[quote=Anonymous]While I applaud anyone willing to go over and help out, after the latest diagnosis in NYC, I think all returning personnel from the affected countries should be quarantined for 21 days - paid leave, no public transit whatsoever, avoid sex etc.  Clearly any signs of fatigue etc and said person should NOT go out in public even if they have not fever or other symptoms. How this highly trained medical doctor thought he wasn't a serious risk just because he didn't see how his gear could have been breached is pure stupidity and arrogance. Seriously, WTF on his part?! Plenty of MSF staff have come down with Ebola. While they have the most stringent protocols, they are clearly still not foolproof.

Personally I think in an effort by global leaders to downplay this to avoid panic, food shortages and financial market crashes, it means we are playing with fire. This has the potential to change/take away life for millions over the next few years unless they get an effective vaccine and the virus doesn't mutate to negate said vaccine.

Mother Nature can be very sneaky and we need to be pouring more resources into this.  IMO, this has far more potential to kill more humans than any wars elsewhere or terrorist acts (short of a nuclear explosion in metro area or weaponized bioterror, including ebola).[/quote]
