One day after governors in New York, New Jersey and Illinois imposed a mandatory 21-day quarantine on medical workers returning from Ebola-stricken countries in West Africa, public health officials in the District, Maryland and Virginia did not follow suit Saturday, intensifying a national debate over how to prevent the spread of the disease.

No mandatory Ebola quarantine for health workers coming to Washington area - The Washington Post

There is now opportunity for Ebola patients coming in from Africa to discuss the Ebola crisis overseas with US congressmen and senators prior to getting help at a local hospital.

If you are coming in from Africa and landing in Washington DC please stop in at the DC offices of as many US congressmen and senators as you can prior to getting help. They want to hear from you and hear from you now.

Would I be scared if I caught it? Absolutely. I have never been worried about catching it because unlike you, I know how hard it is to contract. My biggest point is in this thread you have freaked out and posted a lot of useless garbage. Oh the CDC is trash and inept blah, blah blah. Why don't you go and ask the Ebola survivors how inept the CDC is?

Did the government make mistakes? Absolutely. But consider something, they had never dealt with an outbreak of Ebola like this. You had to expect mistakes to be made. If you actually knew some infectious disease specialists, they probably would have told you they were surprised it took as long as it did for Ebola to come here.

What exactly has the CDC (and by extension the barry administration) done correctly? They have been proactive on nothing and reactive on everything.

The Obama administration has expressed deep concerns to the governors of New York and New Jersey and is consulting with them to modify their orders to quarantine medical volunteers returning from West Africa as President Obama seeks to quickly develop a new, nationwide policy for the workers, according to two senior administration officials.

I wonder if Chris Christie will waddle down to DC and hug Obama?

All Obama has to do is get Springsteen to call him.

Very good episode of 60 mins right now talking with doctors and nurses who cared for Duncan whom died.

I didn't know it but the ones who helped treat him did not have to. They all volunteered to care for the man. Humanity at its finest.

It's hard for me to support mandatory quarantines in a government holding facility.

No problem. Christie has already folded like a cheap suit, size 60 regular.

He goes with whichever way the wind blows.

I can respect a man who makes a decision I disagree with but stands by his convictions and explains why he arrived at his decision. I cannot respect a man who has no convictions or principles.

An expert who has studied Ebola for more than a decade, Purdue University's David Sanders, told CNN on Monday that he feels the policy on mandatory quarantines in New York and New Jersey are "largely political" rather than medical fact and that leaders are acting based on the desire to calm a panicked public rather than to do what's most beneficial.

Immigration Minister Scott Morrison announced "strong controls" on arrivals from West African countries affected by cases of the deadly disease.
Telling Australia's parliament during a question time session Monday that his ministry was currently "not processing any application from these (Ebola) affected countries," he said that the government was also suspending its humanitarian program.

As fear of Ebola infections spreads to developed economies, U.S. and British insurance companies have begun writing Ebola exclusions into standard policies to cover hospitals, event organizers and other businesses vulnerable to local disruptions.

As a result, new policies and renewals will become costlier for companies opting to insure business travel to West Africa or to cover the risk of losses from quarantine shutdowns at home, industry officials told Reuters.

ISIS terrorists are reportedly urging supporters to use a new weapon against the West.

A Spanish official claims ISIS is exploring how to use Ebola as a biological weapon.

Meanwhile, U.S. intelligence officials say the constant coalition airstrikes are not slowing the tide of 1,000 foreign fighters who join with the terrorists each month.

Anyone advocating for quarantine or other big government action on this issue is an idiot.

We can't kill 1000 people a month with our airstrikes? That's weak.
