Nancy Snyderman has Ebola???

If so, she should really be quarantined in a hospital receiving treatment.

And as a result....7 million people got it and died from it

And this person survives it somehow...and person KNEW the consequence and went in public ANYWAY

Would you support this person be placed on trial prosecuted?

they tried to make not reporting that you have Ebola a crime in the effected west African countries, did not work so well..

1 person dead of ebola in the US. 36,000 dead a YEAR from the flu. As someone who has immunity issues thanks to cancer, I'm much more afraid of the flu, mumps, measles, and pneumonia than the very slim chance of being in such close quarters to someone with ebola that I get sick.

The hysterics people are expressing about ebola is how I feel when I find out someone didn't vaccinate their child.

I suppose if you're a nasty person and have Ebola, you could tell the authorities..."yeah come get me" and run around like a wildcat, so a police chase ensues, drive to a mall or a swap meet and expose way more people if you wanted to...

Be a defiant one! 21 days wow! I guess I would would order Chinese too!

Ebola is not a joke. There are going to be inconveniences, as we've discovered several times in this country already. For example, Frontier Airlines is taking out of service the airliner that the nurse was on. They've also placed the crew on paid leave.
LESS THAN 1% OF THE POPULATIONS OF THE AFFECTED COUNTRIES ARE INFECTED. There are roughly 4.6 MILLION Liberians. It's an unreasonable burden.

Frontier Airlines is concerned about public relations.

If someone had ebola, I doubt they would be up for attending a football game or visiting a shopping mall. If what we have been told about ebola symptoms is true, they would be in bed, very near to toilet and feeling absolutely horrible.

You forget aloofness/stupidity at the "higher" levels running the show as a contributor to the "threat". And as someone else pointed out well, people are more ticked-off than anything at this mismanagement.

ie....We won't tell you not to fly lady who is running a temperature after recently treating an ebola patient where one of her coworkers came down with the virus also.
