Folks, as Conservatives, we base our beliefs on facts, reason and logic.
Unfortunately, you have allowed yourselves to get whipped up into an alarmist frenzy over this issue, which quite frankly, is what liberals do about everything: Global warming, over population, the rain forests, heterosexual aids, the hole in the ozone, depletion of fish stocks, and on and on.
Has ebola spread to the U.S. in the five months since the outbreak was first discovered? No. Has it spread to Europe? No. Has it spread to Asia? No. Why? Because Africa is a backwater basket case. A civilized person wouldn’t even drink the water there, why would you think they have any sort of hygiene?
Here’s an article that articulates many of the reasons that you’re not going to get ebola nor will it spread in the U.S.

I’ll say it one more time: IT IS AFRICA!!! EVERY HORRIBLE THING IMAGINABLE FLOURISHES THERE!!!
Now climb back in off the ledge and think rather than feel and don’t be consumed by illogical panic.

I second what you said. Also there is a lot of clamoring for "quarantine". That works, but it works like this: if someone in a community is suspected to have Ebola, then stay away from them. Call the authorities, they come and take that person to a containment unit.

This is how it doesn't work: declare some large area with thousands of people as "quarantined". Or declare a whole country as "quarantined". It does make sense to limit travel out of Ebola countries, but "quarantine" is a mirage. No borders of any sort can be that secure and abandoning any populated area to uncontrolled spread is simply stupid when it can be easily contained person by person.

So the executive branch is using this to get our military (medics, corpsmen, and some defense) over there to expose them? To cause more emotional damage? He won’t let them take out ISIS (which I am sure they were chomping at the bit to do) but will send them to fight an enemy they cannot see and know little about?

Thank you for the calm info. I will research more, of course, because I am in contact with military moms like myself who are stressed anyway and any trigger is multiplied. My son will not be going to Africa but he wants to go to get ISIS.
