Seven patients, including Duncan and Brantly, have been or are currently being treated for Ebola or exposure to the virus at U.S. hospitals.

Sounds like cremation is really the best option.

How about securing the borders and ending all flights from the countries that have an Ebola pandemic???

Instead of planning for the worse. When we can EASILY stop and/or minimize it.

It sounds harsh, but it’s the only way to protect the population.

Oh please, Dr Freidan of the CDC says we are not going to have Ebola deaths here.

It is already controlled.
