People are always put in isolation for infectious diseases. At least in America. Most people comply with them. This is not new. Was more aware of it years ago than now. btw New York Post just put this up: http://nypost.com/2014/10/29/cdc-admits-droplets-from-a-sneeze-could-spread-ebola/
I do not believe the CDC has been totally forthright with us on Ebola. They admitted it because they had it on a poster and someone pointed it out to them.
How much power do you wish to grant Obama and the CDC to place people in quarantine who they determine may have a disease?
