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.

Speaking of experts, I trust Doctor Frieden, head of CDC, and Dr. Fauci to keep a lid on this. We don't need other experts speculating that it might go airborne with the result of causing a panic. Who's running the show?
The last I heard they were thinking of checking people arriving from Africa, asking questions and taking their temperature. Let's give it some time and see how it plays out. Even if it does become airborne, it can still be contained.
In the mean time, all we can do is be mindful of our intake of bodily fluids from others. That's a lifestyle choice, the same as for HIV/AIDS.
