I'm actually thinking it could be here already. On the island.
I don't think it's going to bring the apocalypse or anything but I think the worst(for the US) is yet to come.
Seems like the CDC and the gov have dropped the ball on this one. Then again, I don't trust the gov or the media so who knows.

Why do you think that? LI does not have any significant west African population. If anything NYC would be the place that will get a case quickly (almost certainly at some point), not the suburbs.
Maybe now the lard asses in Congress and the Pentagon will fast track the meds and vaccine that likely saved the 1st two Americans. The same treatment (ZMapp) held up in appropriations by the Pentagon for years for whatever political reasons (I'd speculate some sort of contractual agreement with big pharma to quash it so they wouldn't be on the hook to help 3rd world countries without getting a payday...but I admit that is just cynicism). Now it's supposedly getting some money since it works and we may need it.
Obviously conflicting reports. I read the 1st nurse had contact with him every day from the day he arrived.
Who knows what the truth is, but the nurse herself said there was no standard procedure at the hospital for removing protective clothing and the hospital was telling them to do things like wrap medical tape over exposed skin etc. If that is the truth then it isn't rocket science how both caregivers got infected.

While they are at it they can impose travel restrictions and temporarily freeze all visas from ebola infected countries.

because that makes too much sense. We're told they need to contain it to Africa, but in the same breath we're told we cannot impose travel restrictions. It's politics and political correctness run amuck. Now they probably won't do it unless there is an outcry or they'd tacitly be admitting they were slow to react or wrong.

I doubt that. He went to the ER and was discharged from there on the first visit. ER nurses don't work on regular floors. If you mean she followed him from the first day if his second visit then possibly. I heard this morning that a nurse manager was the one who had to insist he be isolated and they were wearing paper gowns for awhile.
And Nancy snyderman from nbc news went out to dinner breaking her 21 day quarantine.
