Every Ebola outbreak in the past 40 years has been stopped. We know how to do this and we will do it again.

Ok, since they know how, what is stopping them? Color me skeptical.

They’re fully prepared to I have no doubt

It’s whether or not they’ll actually do it....

Nothing is stopping them, they are doing it. Do you know how every Ebola outbreak before this one was stopped? There have been around 20 "wild" outbreaks in West Africa, and they were very isolated, to one or at most two villages. "They" stopped it by isolating the village / hamlet it was in and letting it run it's course. In most of those cases there were plenty of medical personnel and beds available-- not so now. This time there is no isolated village or hamlet, but they have tried to treat the cases the same way in an industrialized, highly mobile population. Look at how it worked in Monrovia. People should be horrified by that answer, this time is not at all like the others and the way those outbreaks were stopped would not be acceptable in the US.
