I respect the New England Journal of Medicine. However I believe their intent in writing this article was out of concern that many health care workers would refuse to volunteer if they believed a 2 day quarantine was needed.
I keep reading tt Ebola mutates on a continuum and that it can live on a cold surface for up to 50 days. further that the 21 day quarantine may not be enough.
On a personal basis I am tired of hearing some authorities describing people as emotional hysterical etc. Its insulting and its a method of manipulation.
I doubt know any sane person that would embrace someone they believed was infected with a deadly disease. Its human nature...I love but I'll show you after 21 days
This is one of the deadly diseases on earth and to date it has no cure. It continually mutates and medical people are being infected.
I agree when they say stop it at its source but my definition is to keep it all in West Africa.. But they won't because they believe they can't as they will not get the required workers to fight this disease. I agree but I also believe it signals how serious an issue this is and how quickly it can get out of control
