Hopefully the folks making this decision didn't also train the infected workers.

Sensible. And they're even doing a proper quarantine! Pretty soon that might be the procedure for any travel.

Maybe they should stay quarantined a bit longer before coming back to the US.

Imagine that.
A missionary group doing the right thing, instead of letting all those people go globe trotting, spreading the virus like the irresponsible airport officials did with that guy who died from it at the airport.

Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...

All flights in and out of active Ebola zones should be stopped.
Ebola's more dangerous in the United States than in Africa because the way our cities are constructed.
One person in a thirty story Miami condo could kill 90% of their neighbors. Same with large office buildings in New York. When residents realize they'll die from secondary contract in an elevator... contracting the disease from the buttons on the elevator - then realize there no place for them to hide from the virus - they'll panic. Some will pack up and go 'home' - back to aging parents in single family homes... And the virus will spread like wildfire.
On the lighter brighter side most of the people living in expensive inner city high rises are liberal elites... (just kidding - no, we don't want liberal elites to die horrible deaths...)
Oh, and medical personnel will die first...

This could-be-plague situation keeps reminding me of this novel. Highly recommended for my Freeper Friends.

Someone here who might know more on this stuff.
Is true and/or possible that if Ebola were to spread, it would continue to mutate and that it would become less deadly as that mutation happens is larger population areas?
