Gosh, I don’t know. The CDC was down playing the risk. I totally believe they weren’t restricting those who worked with Ebola. They thought their precautions kept the staff safe, or they would’ve had better ones.

I do not disagree with what you've written, but honestly, for the good of all mankind, wouldn't you have just stayed home? I am not an Ebola pro, but even I know enough to cancel all of my travel plans for a bit.

We do not actually know that the CDC downplayed - or even overplayed - the risk to the staff at the hospital. There is currently a lot of conflicting reports and a whole bunch of CDC people trying to cover their asses. You know?

I do know that this government lies to serve their own political purposes and it is a fact that the CDC is incompetent in its handling of Ebola on US soil outside of their headquarters in Atlanta.

They might have thought that it took something close to 21 days to have symptoms and be able to spread the disease. They might have thought they were getting in a vacation before that would happen.

I'm not defending them or condemning them. I'm just trying to understand how people's reactions will affect the problem.
