As The BBC reports, after stating that the death toll has hit 4,555 worldwide, a leaked internal document shows "nearly everyone involved in the outbreak response failed to see some fairly plain writing on the wall." There are a few tidbits of good news this weekend: the Spanish patient's test returned negative, 48 "at-risk" people in Dallas have been cleared, and Nigeria has been declared "ebola-free"

How many Divisions of the American military would it take to seal the borders of those nations completely?

The world needs to seal off the Hot Zone. Healthcare workers can go in but anyone coming out must be quarantined for 45 days. No soup runs for anyone. No ifs, ands or buts.

I thought it was hard to get?
Not if you embrace and kiss the dead bodies. I would imagine Ebola would be one thing you could get. God only knows whatever else is out there.

The Democrats are doing all they can including burning the Constitution, to bring it here.
We don't live in squalor in the USA, those who want to be clean have the resources.
We don't have sewer running in open ditches either, or wipe our butts with our hands.
If "those" Governments allow it to break out that's not a good thing, but
it's also the citizens who allow it ultimately. Personal responsibility.
I just can't get into the hype.

One patient gave it to two nurses. Imagine if we had twenty or thirty or a thousand show up in ERs at all the major cities. Maybe accidentally contaminate food at grocery store or restaurants. The virus stays alive on surfaces for many hours.
