Stemming this epidemic at the source is what is going to stop ebola from entering this country, in my opinion.

You may have military experts who can oversee the broad field in a military operation (but I doubt that one, too) and business leaders who can see the whole picture of an ailing company, etc. etc. But as for a medical person being able to bring several agencies together and force them to communicate in an effective way? I doubt that. That's a communication problem, which has bee admitted, and it needs an expert in the field of communication. No one doctor has broad knowledge over all of this. The different fields need to come together to work on the problem--medical, military, public health, disease control.
And BTW, let's not nitpick words. I have faith in the government just as I have faith in people around me who I love. And I trust the gvt. will get this right.

If I didn't have faith or trust in my government, I personally would live somewhere else. But I would rather live nowhere else but here, despite the few warts we may have.
