So how do you know the guy who just walked into the airport and has been screened isn't just about to turn contagious??? You don't.In Senegal the individual was identified and quarantined.In Nigeria,one man caused 20 cases and 8 deaths.The case in the Dallas will reveal how the scenario you've described can play out considering he was symptomatic for 5 days before being quarantined. this is the keyword! Unreported/undetected is more worrisome.You can't contain or treat what you are not aware of. Yes, especially for a disease still in its 'infancy'.

Knowing full well he had been exposed he still got on an available plane and flew in a flight! Surely! Could that be a contributing reason he is not getting medication? What could have happened if the flight was not there to start with?

Whites have higher IQs than Blacks... Oh... Whites have.... than X. While asians who have better culture and consequently better IQs e.t.c. don't even care about these discussions.

If you know you might have Ebola, either you stay in Liberia and wait to die or go to a place where treatment might secure your survival.

Patrick Sawyer knew he had it and thus tried to avoid contact with people (there are videos of him refusing to shake hands with people) - that one was heading to the US to get treated there. For this second jamaa.... If I were him..I would get to the states... and isolate myself for 21 days then see if smellystuff hits the fan if it does I walk into the ER and inform them.
