With this risk and they are asking for voluntary?

I read an article about a country in Africa that contained it. I believe it was Nigeria. Anyone viewed as being a possible source of transmission was moved to a camp. They were well cared for but isolated until they got the all clear.

Hey guns, just a thought...

The idea of isolation camps is a good one, and it successfully tamped down an outbreak. But what if you put 25 people in an isolation camp, 10 have Ebola, 15 didn’t when they went in. But now 6 of them get infected due to contact with the 10 who would have broken with Ebola anyway. See the conundrum?
