He makes a lot of sense, unlike our current fearless leader.
Now they’ve taken another infected missionary home to Spain.
It’s like watching a slow motion disaster movie.

Carson is 100% correct IMHO, and my own views on this echo his completely.

Carson is wrong and I wonder if he wants our military who are fighting Ebola in Africa to live with their chances there, if they get the disease.
This panicked reaction that we should start letting our heroes die in Africa rather than bring them home to our (and their) advanced Ebola clinics, is discouraging.
My real concern is this. Are they ever cured in the traditional sense?
A cure means they no are no longer symptomatic. Okay. they survive. As I understand it, this does not remove their positive status. Aren’t they then carriers, able to infect others who will then need treatment?
Is this really going to be stopped, if the do survive? I don’t think so, but I’m not actually sure yet.
This is one time when I disagree with the great doctor. While it may be possible to “treat” Americans who have Ebola in some 3rd world country, would we want our son or daughter to be left in Liberia to be treated? Of course not!
Emory will take the greatest care to isolate these two patients. There MAY be danger to the caregivers, but not to the general public.
His opinion is just that. He’ll never be in a position to make such a decision
That is a strange thing to say about America. How many Americans are so stubborn that they won't go to the hospital if they get Ebola?
True.
That Ebola threat is coming across the Mexican border and into our airports straight from Africa.
Ebola is also an STD(Sexually Transmitted Disease)

Notice the boy wandering around and eating, conditions in Africa are primitive.
A health worker, wearing personal protection gear, offers water to a woman with Ebola virus disease (EVD), at a treatment centre for infected persons in Kenema Government Hospital, in Kenema, Eastern Province, Sierra Leone in this August, 2014 handout photo provided by UNICEF August 6, 2014.
Worn out, torn, punctured and threadbare protective gear being reused.
His luster is wearing off. Just pandering for support now.
A doctor friend said he didn;t think they should be brought to the US either, hmmm.
Our current leader WANTS to inflict a pandemic on America.
We “deserve it”.
After all Ebola is the legacy of centuries of colonialism. /s
Dr Carson is right.
You have to weigh the benefits and risk of bringing these patients here, and there is more risk than benefit. Someone in charge has to remove emotion that you as a family member may have, and make the hard decision.
Have you heard an update of the two Ebola infected patients health?
I have not, and I suspect something is up.
There is a phase in which it appears that you are getting better once infected from Ebola, then you crash and bleed out.
How come no news lately?
If they want to treat these patients, instead of buidling a unit in Emory, they should have built a hosptal ship.
Get it away from American soil.
Those nurses have the potential, although small, of infecting their children , which in turn winds up in their neighborhood school. Infecting your children.
Then you might change your opinion about this.
I have a friend who is a research scientist, he thought it was a bad idea, also.
