"what difference does it make if a few Americans are infected with a deadly disease that is likely to kill them? "

Folks fail to understand the importance of what's going on! We now have Ebola IN THE WILD in the Dallas area, at least. It's in the sewage and garbage systems...and by extension the animals that frequent those systems.

AND Ebola is transmissible between animals and between animals and humans.

What we don't know is if insects can spread it...like fleas and mosquitoes and bed bugs, those that feed on blood.

Like the plague.

Even if they shut down this current small outbreak, it's likely to be back and haunt our progeny for decades, if not centuries.

Ebola in far away villages is one thing. In a major American city is another. This is bad!

Well, that’s just social justice, doncha know? Can’t have it be endemic in Africa, gotta make sure other countries especially USA(cause it’s racist) get to share the pain.
