He’s a medical professional. I would hope that his decision to give the serum to her was not entirely unselfish, that it may have indicated that his condition is improving and she needed it more.

We’re just sitting here armchair-quarterbacking. I feel sure the docs there know more than we do.

Unlike many, including some on this thread, I have no problem whatsoever with bringing either of these Americans back for treatment, if they’re up to the trip (which is questionable). Our medical community is completely capable of quarantining them and treating them in isolation. This awful disease is a threat worldwide if it escapes Africa, and we need to learn all we can about it and prepare.

You sir or mam, do not follow history much? The only upside to ebola is how fast it kills within a population of limited means of dispersal or travel. Give it the means to mass and transoceanic transit and you are looking at something out of a Stephen King novel.

The herds are about to be culled folks. I'm not armchairing anything. Global pandemics do occur. Why give them jet fuel to do so?

.....O bama is allowing thousands in .....and diseases with them, with scant supervision......no telling what they’re bringing in.

Good luck with that, Jedidah.

How quickly we forget.

Suggeset you read the following article from August 2012 about the NIH's desperate struggle to stop a superbug that was killing patient after patient in D.C. at their very own "top research hospital:"
