Most of these will be false alarms, but even so they are costing a lot of money compared to just banning aircraft travel from the affected countries.
This one doesn’t strike you as being different somehow? It sounds as if it might be airborne whatever it is, judging from an entire apartment building and part or all of a hospital being sealed off or quarantined.
Yep. I predict 99+% of all the "quarantined with Ebola-like symptoms" cases we'll start hearing about will turn out not to be Ebola.
Are we going to quarantine everyone who pukes and runs a fever? This is how panics start.
