“This virus, while deadly, can be controlled easily, just like any other when outside the human or animal host so there is no reason to fear from the decontamination procedures they are employing, just because it is ebola.”

Not hardly. Medical personnel working with known Ebola cases are close to 1 in 10 of the outbreak cases. Over 100 health care workers infected in an outbreak that “only” has killed less than 800 total.

That screams that introducing active cases into an area with no Ebola runs a good chance (far from zero) of escaping the medical facility. It is a sure bet they will not be quarantining the medical staff, ambulance staff, and air ambulance staff for 30 days.

This is a combination Emory self promotion combined with a political op run by the State Department to try to find something to prop up 0bama.

I disagree.

Preventing Ebola from getting out of the hospital environment will be no more difficult, in fact easier than preventing hantavirus or similar deadly bugs...

Transmission is not that easy when you are aware of it. Infected NGO aids were likely not aware when they contracted it, at least most of them. The others likely got it from bunking with the infected. (they use dormitory type housing)

The key here is awareness.

After that it is easier to avoid contracting then the common flu virus.
