Bloomberg just ran a piece on this and the doc they interviewed was towing the cdc line. Kept saying we can’t stigmatize people going to Africa because that is the raging fire and it needs to be fought and a few embers landing here are nothing to worry about.

‘We have let the governors of New York, New Jersey, and others states know that we have concerns with the unintended consequences of policies not grounded in science may have on efforts to combat Ebola at its source in West Africa,’ a senior administration official said in a statement after that gathering.
‘We have also let these states know that we are working on new guidelines for returning healthcare workers that will protect the American people against imported cases, while, at the same time, enabling us to continue to tackle this epidemic in West Africa.’
