Glad to see this was a false alarm. But let's not personally deliver quarantine notices in the future.

guess they didn't take off the protective gear correctly.

Sad situation for the nurse infected in Texas. Hope she can beat Ebola. It's definitely a frightening disease.

Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, etc TERRIFIED of Ebola. OUTRAGED over no travel bans from affected countries.

Thanks Obama and Ebola.

If there's one thing to be a little over dramatic on, and maybe a little over the top on overdoing safety protocols, it's a virus that can wipe out a substantial portion of world population.

-Oh, it's not going to spread in America, we're too clean.
-It's not spread airborne yet.
-We'll just develop a vaccine, no worries.
-Very panic-ey to say things like "we're due for a population correction."

Could easily all be 100% true, that's fine. But, taking it lightly just seems really illogical.

Contemplating if it will go airborne is really illogical along with 99% of everything else people have been speculating pointlessly about.

Probably true but needless to say does not have to go airborne to spread rapidly among large numbers of people. Family members, loved ones, doctors and patients, etc. tend to have a habit of getting physically close to one another.

All the reassurances that the virus is only contagious when the person is symptomatic ring hollow if that is supposed to mean the virus won't spread. Symptoms start out like other general viral infections - fever, body aches, etc. Guess what people still shake hands, hug their spouse, sleep in bed together, etc., even if one of them has a "bug".

This needs to be contained quickly and the fact that a nurse who treated an Ebola patient was allowed to fly to Cleveland and back, does not exactly inspire confidence.

Anyone read Hot Zone? Troubling accounts of it spreading pretty mysteriously.

I hadn't read it...just decided to catch the first chapter or so on Amazon.

If it really takes you down like that...?...people should be hiding.

Fox News Medical Expert claims Obama allowed Ebola into the US because 'his affinities, his affiliations lie with them'. I'm not sure who 'they' are. Maybe hypothetical Africans who would like to see Americans suffer?

This article is massive clickbait but pretty indicative of a standard Fox News story. Dr. Ablow is presumably speaking to members of the party who will be taking over our national legislature in January.
