“Now we need this statement to translate into immediate action on the ground. For weeks, MSF has been repeating that a massive medical, epidemiological and public health response is desperately needed to saves lives and reverse the course of the epidemic.
“Lives are being lost because the response is too slow.

What’s the problem? GRID (later AIDS) and the HIV have always accounted for more morbidity than Ebola ever has, even at its onset. No quarantines or isolation or restricted travel have ever been imposed for the folk so infected.
I would surmise that the world community is waiting for good old Uncle Sugar to come up with some expensive, stop gap medicines to slow the scourge of (dare I say it?) this new African plague. If the spread of AIDS hasn’t necessitated a quarantine, why the concern over Ebola?
The U.S. Army, DOD, and CDC is involved, the Global Emerging Infections Surveillance and Response System at the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center, etc.
