I really don't our ideas of right and wrong are that much different however, our understanding of Ebola transmission is completely different. I am also concerned that other medical professionals will respond negatively to these rules...we have a much better keeping this disease away from our shores by treating it in Africa.
We should know more soon if know one gets sick in NYC from the doctor and this nurse remains Ebola free.

Cologal - unfortunately Dr. Spencer used poor judgement and was about and about in NYC after his return from treating Ebola patients. He now is in the hospital fighting for his life. As a direct result the governor's felt this was the only way to control the possibility of potentially spreading this disease. I agree the CDC says you are not infectious until you present with symptoms; however, the CDC has been caught with their pants down too many times trying to deal with this and quite honestly people don't have much faith in anything they say at this point.
