Perhaps a chance to study and find a cure. I have to believe his blood will be useful to researchers, especially if he survives. Regarding fears of his entering the country, I believe that the long incubation period makes this disease a very effective covert biological weapon. Better to study now with our advanced equipment than before we have a full blown epidemic.

So many points:

a chance to study and find a cure.
Not likely, it's caused by a mutating virus.

his blood will be useful to researchers, especially if he survives.
A big "if"...his blood is lethal.

Regarding fears of his entering the country, I believe that the long incubation period
It doesn't have a "long incubation period"

makes this disease a very effective covert biological weapon.
Oh, great, another thing for the murdering moslems to play with. We aren't even supposed to have them.

Better to study now with our advanced equipment than before we have a full blown epidemic.
Maybe....somewhere else, like Africa. If we "weaponize" it, we probably will have a "full blown epidemic".

That’s true and I’m glad to see that he’s going to receive the best possible care.

Yes I think you have hit on it. I hope the poor man survives and it may not be dangerous bringing one person in a bubble to the CDC containment center. It does seem odd since its never been done before. They are probably trying to come up with a vaccine or something.
