> We might become complacent ...
The +diagnosis is low enough to keep the complacent complacent. Anyone with an appreciation for how dangerous a virus this is understands that an uncontrolled case like Duncan is a potential disaster, and retransmission is a catastrophe unfolding.
And unscreened, untested, unquarantined arrivals keep pouring in. Even at the current low +diag rate, more cases at random locations are just a matter of time - because nothing prevents it.

Yep. Now WHO is saying to expect 10,000 cases per week in Africa. It's only a matter of time before those that "can" will be fleeing Africa in droves. And with our open borders policy, some of them WILL end up here.
Recall that expanded screening has been installed at five airports, as the CDC proudly announced a few days ago. And these five airports covered the vast majority of the traffic into the US from West Africa.
Separately, we found that only 150 people from West Africa arrive in the U.S. daily.
Doesn't sound like a lot...until you realize that means 37-38 people arrive in the USA from West Africa everyday...and are never reliably screened!!!
Screening isn't the answer. Quarantining travel from West Africa altogether is the answer. Why can't this administration see that?
I’m afraid they want us to be complacent until the fan gets switched on
Nothing is happening in my neck of the woods yet but I’ve been plenty nervous since day one
