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.

Add to this that Ebola has a 90% death rate within days……nowhere near the threat of HIV positive and then AIDS developing over years, or hepatitis C and its consequences over time.
Political correctness is again in full bloom, with the gutless politicians being more afraid to limit travel from Liberia to here than they fear having the firemen-paramedics, hospital lab technicians, doctors and nurses who have to TREAT this horrible disease get exposed, suffer and die…..crippling our nation's entire healthcare system and public safety system when police and firemen are exposed.
