The president of the United States needs to put things in place to stop people from coming here from affected countries., not check their temperature after they get here.

Gracie, as an R.N. who worked many years in trauma/emergency departments which the nature of this work put me in heavy exposure to bodily fluids of patients with AIDS, Hep C, etc, etc, and never contracted any of these infectious diseases or to my knowledge did any of my colleagues, so this nurse in Dallas contracting Ebola knowing full well what she was dealing with from a slight breach in protocol of protective clothing removal is very frightening to me.
This incident should be a huge wakeup call to the powers that be to rethink their disease control strategies because if more healthcare workers contract Ebola from having to care for increasing numbers of Ebola patients, this will collapse the US healthcare infrastructure.
