Gotta love how every media pundit and message board poster is an armchair scientist or doctor these days.
Only up to page 4 of this thread, and I can see that on both sides of the fence.
Equally disturbing however, is the amazing amount of naivete.
Whatever happened to "err on the side of caution"? I don't care how many precautions are taken or how better "we" THINK we are capable to treat it. Ebola IS here. As an example - people should remember how MRSA became that way.
I'm sorry, how many illegal immigrants enter the US every day?
And you're concerned over 2 freaking people?

And if you go to the link and read....or even read what you posted, you'd realize they were talking about the natural reservoir transmission method (which is suspected to be eating a infected animal BTW). The human to human transmission is pretty clearly understood.
And of course you include personal attacks while highlighting that you do not understand the topic.
I have no issues with it. The main driver of Ebola is funerary practices in Africa which stress handling and washing the dead without precautions so you get direct contact with infected blood. We don't do that in the US so I'm not worried.
Hell no! They don't belong here. It is NOT our problem.
