What about the people in the Emergency room waiting area? What about the doctors, nurses, techs ?

I'm not saying there's no risk, but the risk is much reduced. Particularly in places, like the US, which have sophisticated infrastructure for handling infectious disease outbreaks. Health workers are used to dealing with plenty of diseases far more infectious than Ebola.

Oh, you mean like EVD-68, Chikungunya, Dengue Fever ?

How are they doing on 'dealing' with those diseases ?

After you see this map, look down to the recent incidents, then to the breakdown by disease. Do they have it all under control?

“Health workers are used to dealing with plenty of diseases far more infectious than Ebola.”

Maybe, but none as deadly as Ebola. A screw up with the flu make you sick for a few days, a screw up with the big E makes you dead

A lot of kids are getting the enterovirus.

Right, that's why he was sent home for the Hospital on the 26th, AFTER he informed the HC Workers he had just recently returned from Africa...

See that way he could spread Ebola thru out Dallas/Ft. Worth so all the Hospitals could implement their Level 4 Containment procedures. /s

You are joshing us, right? We are “sophisticated” enough to allow open borders and unfettered travel between the US and Liberia - an Ebola machine if there ever was one. We are politically correct and that is in direct opposition to public health just like airport security is in direct opposition to catching Islamic terrorists.
