It seems that death from living a poor lifestyle is okay as long as it's a slow death, compared to Ebola which is a relatively quick death.

Villages PL As the boys in Iowa say that dog won't hunt. Your comparison is trailing you elsewhere.
You also discuss freedoms and that is not the issue.
the issue is simply containing something that can easily get out of hand. do you recall the spanish flu , some called it the swine flu that killed millions of people world wide. Experts pointed out in an article in WSJ that Ebola could mutate to be airborne. it can be passed from animals to humans.
