Another Ebola Death in US: Will There Be More?

A doctor from Sierra Leone, who was brought to a Nebraska hospital to be treated for the Ebola virus has died. The question must be asked: Has anyone in that Nebraska hospital contracted the virus as happened in Dallas with the case of Thomas Eric Duncan?

My sympathy goes out to the deceased doctor who died while trying to save others. At the same time, do we have to worry that any of the medical personnel treating him in Nebraska might have contracted the virus and are walking among us-or flying among us in the friendly skies?

Sorry if I may seem insensitive, but if that proves to be the case, then we must seriously question the idea of bringing Ebola patients (who are not American citizens) back to the US for treatment.

  2. You can ask, but ain't nobody listening.

    Besides, I think you advocated a course of action.

  3. I did indeed. There should be a temporary travel ban not allowing passport-holders from those countries to the US until this is eradicated. Those going there to help should be quaranteened when they return.
