That probably explains why I'm not getting all of those enticing email offers from the head of Nigeria's Ministry of Finance that will make me rich. I guess with them all dropping from Ebola no one has time to run the scams at the cafes eh?
That scam was called out what ten or so years ago?? Maybe longer. If your still gettin emails about it then you may want to change your email address..........lol
So let em die................don't blow it out of proportion? Or when 1500 die is that enough for you? Where is your "line in the sand"? Probably when one of yours is the dying one I would guess.
Get a grip. No one is letting them die (though not much more can be done). There is simply no case for alarm and certainly no rational explanation other than racism for the over-reaction from you on the right.

LOL............are you kidding me now................racism?? Good Lord you folks are nuts. One is a "racist" now if they don't let Ebola carriers in. Do see how insane that even sounds when I type it?
Shall all firefighters, soldiers, police and other people who put their lives on the line stay home because they have children? What happens to the children of other people when they do?
The odds of a firefighter, soldier, police officer and others who put their lives on the line every day returning home safely are much higher than a doctor who comes into close contact with an Ebola patient. It was all but certain he would become infected. His choice, not mine, but I can have my opinion on it. Let the African doctors be the front line soldiers on this. We can send advice, meds and supplies from a distance, doing research in a controlled lab environment to seek a cure.

Why are we even talking about Ebola? No reason to be nor have been for many years. There is no cure...........these animals that bring it are the problem. Just like how all these diseases start in China. Bunch of animals living with animals.
Seriously? What did he expect would happen? That's like hearing that someone was killed in one of those flying squirrel suits and acting surprised about it.
Brave? Yes. Foolhardy? Definitely! His first obligation as a parent was to make sure he would be there for his children. Running off to Africa to treat Ebola patients flies right in the face of that duty.
I didn't say he made a choice I would have made, or even the best choice (those are often the same, but not always! ). But there's nothing wrong with my choice to be concerned for him and his family.

One need not be a liberal to know where you come from. Thanks for making my point.

Where I come from? That makes no sense at all other than you think anyone who disagrees with anybody is some sort of racist. You take an ebola runner into your home hero. PROVE your not a racist. lol
150 afflicted people out of 170,000,000 people is not "running wild". Thank you internet media for blowing the problem way, way, way out of proportion. Keep it in perspective.
It's not running wild, but it's more than 150 people afflicted.
The frightening thing is that the disease has now reached the city of Lagos, which is Nigeria's largest city. This could be catastrophic.
The really frightening thing is that this particular patient in Lagos GOT OFF A PLANE at the Lagos airport sick with Ebola. Since Ebola symptoms can take 21 days to manifest, it's imperative that the other passengers/travelers/crew members who came in contact with him be isolated - and I'm not sure if you've ever been to the Lagos airport but my husband has - and it's a mad house. There is no telling who the man came into contact with during his travels.

By working on the disease, he is helping to ensure that his children (or grandchildren) might not ever have to suffer or die from it.
