The survival rate was not in his favor.
That the others brought here survived is a different story completely.
They were medical folks that knew what to do the minute symptoms came on.
Brantly was able to walk into Emory.

That is the last thing we need.
Disagree. There needs to be accountability. Otherwise this will happen again.
In the United States??? I'm sure lawyers have been pursuing this case as soon as it became public.

I have no issue with meeting the 3 flights that return from Liberia each week in Casablanca and Brussels and quarantining the passengers for 3 weeks for their own safety and that of the rest of the world. It strikes me as more efficient to do this than attempting to track all passengers as they make connecting flights, trains or boats to other places. The cost of quarantine could be prorated back to the country that represents the final destination and is certainly not limited to the U.S.

The other 2 were medical folks that knew what to do when symptoms showed up.
The 2 priests in Spain didn't make it.

The odds of surviving are not in your favor.
Being in the US does not guarantee you will survive Ebola.
We must assume for the present time that casual contact with an infected person specifically meaning touching them and touching yourself can lead to transmission. To not do so is foolhardy.
