I've got to agree. The vast wealth of scientific technology afforded in this Country will be put at the "def-com 4" alert. Let's all put forth are best thoughts for a successful stop to this hideous contagion. |

Problem is, whether it is the best facility in the US or a makeshift clinic in Africa, there is no cure. The factors that have kept Ebola in check in the past is that it occurs in fairly remote regions, it has a very high fatality rate usually killing the patient before they can spread it very far. Sans a cure, it doesn't seem worth the risk to bring infected patients into highly mobile, populated countries. I appreciate the humanitarian motives, but one small mistake could potentially kill a lot more people.

Is Ebola covered by Obamacare?

As far as bringing patients here with Ebola virus, not to rain on anybodies parade but what would lead you believe that Ebola virus is not already here in the US at bio-level 4 labs ? Along with a host of other nasty bugs.

I'm not worried because it's already here, it's a matter of containment and rather than get pulled into a superfluous unrelated area. Perhaps we can agree that we are actually pretty good at containment of pathogens.

I think a sample virus in a bio-containment lab is a whole nother thing to infected and hemorrhaging patients in a university hospital.

If we were talking hundreds perhaps, but one or two patients to specific Hospitals that have experience in extreme contagions is probably little actual risk.

Imagine if... The plane crashed the ambulance transport was in an accident containment suit problem during transfer some nutty gawker wants his autograph worst case, he still dies and now you have another group to handle body, everything they touched, etc. Any one of these could potentially release one of the deadliest diseases on Earth into a highly mobile population. Had any of those happened in Africa, no additional harm as the virus is already there. The patient is a doctor, who presumably knew better than anyone what precautions to take yet still became exposed. It's a harsh call, but even a small risk of releasing that and putting millions at risk is too much of a risk. |

Bringing two patients with this incurable, deadly and highly infectious disease to the US is negating the single biggest protective factor we have ever had against Ebola - the Atlantic Ocean. A single breach in isolation protocol at any level - the plane, the transfer from the plane to the hospital, the disposal of garbage at the hospital, disposal of the bodies when the patients die (and we know they will) - literally any error at any level - could have catastrophic results. The decision was made and I cannot alter that - but it is one of the most incomprehensibly foolish decisions I have ever heard of.
