OK why is it a problem in the countries where it is at? Because the people who get infected often refuse to go to the hospital and have their untrained and unprotected families care for them!
This is not such a issue here.
Millions here have no health insurance or high deductibles and will wait until it is too late and they have infected millions more. Half of all Americans could be dead a year from now with a complete collapse of society. We are playing with fire.
even with all the things I've read about the disease and the fact that my opinion is the same as Donald trump's makes me want to puke, I still wish they would just stay in west Africa and let the treatment come to them. it's not very progressive and it's not very Christian, but I worry about the chance that they may be wrong, mistakes may be made and this could lead to something bigger. I worry for my children, starting school soon and being in such small, tight classrooms with other young children. bodily fluids get exchanged a million times a day at your average elementary school, especially among the younger children.

Put your mind at ease re that scenario. Any child - or adult - in the contagious stage of Ebola would be too sick to come to school.

Sure, people are going to just stay home when they begin to feel ill. This is the US. We have no alternatives. Parents send their sick kids to school all the time. American workers don't have sick leave and often go to work near death. People with no insurance will show up at ERs with full blown symptoms and infect everyone they come in contact with. It will be spread.
Paint it any way you like, but the potential is there and we do need to guard against it closely. I'm sorry but I am not willing to look the other way and pretend there isn't the potential for a major outbreak here. Hopefully that won't happen but there are a huge number of possibilities here.
Theres a potential that a nuclear weapon could be dropped on my home by our military by accident.
I'm not going to spend tonight laying in bed worrying about it.
