Roughly 60% or so current mortality rate, and Immigration says they will not longer screen for infectious disease.
Loverly.
[That decision was made a few years back because it is apparently “racist” to screen for disease?]

Indeed. The WHO doesn't even recommend a travel ban to/from the affected countries.
The WHO recommendations at the link embedded in the update are:
- There should be no general ban on international travel or trade; restrictions outlined in these recommendations regarding the travel of EVD cases and contacts should be implemented.
- States should provide travelers to Ebola affected and at-risk areas with relevant information on risks, measures to minimize those risks, and advice for managing a potential exposure.
- States should be prepared to detect, investigate, and manage Ebola cases; this should include assured access to a qualified diagnostic laboratory for EVD and, where appropriate, the capacity to manage travelers originating from known Ebola-infected areas who arrive at international airports or major land crossing points with unexplained febrile illness.
- The general public should be provided with accurate and relevant information on the Ebola outbreak and measures to reduce the risk of exposure.
- States should be prepared to facilitate the evacuation and repatriation of nationals (e.g. health workers) who have been exposed to Ebola.
