Someone who thinks they have Ebola should not initially go to a hospital - they should be met in their home by a properly trained and protected team for testing.

If the team suspects Ebola, the patient should be moved by dedicated ambulance to a dedicated regional hospital.

Ebola is classified for Biosafety Level 4 in a lab. That is working with minute amounts of virus that aren’t moving. If you consider a grown man secreting Ebola over his entire body surface, given to unexpected spurts of large quantities of infectious fluid, and delirious and incapable of self-control, then asking health workers to use anything less than Level 4 gear for protection is absurd.

I suggest hazard pay of ten to twenty times regular salary, and quarantine accommodation on hospital grounds for volunteer Ebola staff.

Obviously no travel from the African countries affected.

Prepare for terrorists who will not be coming directly from Africa, but who will have a second passport or who will be infected at a location outside of Africa by the primary vector.

Train and pay African survivors of Ebola to care for patients in Africa.

That is a reasoned, possible approach to initial contact with an ebola patient and first steps. However, depending on the mood of the mob and an Obama government, the response might be quite different, particularly if the patient is not of a protected class. Upon confirmation of Ebola, the patient is shot along with everyone else in the residence and the house is then burned down. It sounds impossible, but someone like Obama, who “is good at killing” might well find it attractive.
