THey don’t usually rope off areas for TB, just put the person in a mask.

I would be most worried about TB. While Ebola is deadly and contagious, its far more deadly in Africa due to the substandard medical care in the areas where it occurs.

I saw a doc on the news last night talking about how easy it is to treat if you have reasonably good medical care. She said it was basically a matter of keeping the patient hydrated and keeping the fever under control till the disease runs it’s course while preventing the spread.
