I am far from being hard-hearted, but this bringing two ebola infected persons back into the U.S. for treatment is disconcerting, to say the least. The face of medicine seems to be saying, because of the precautions taken, there is no chance of a spread of the infection, then when pressed with the fact that these two medical professionals had taken all the precautions in Liberia but were nevertheless infected, they admit, well, the risk is really small. Thats quite the backtrack in 20 seconds. Then, they bring on another face of medicine to say, these are U.S. citizens and keeping them out would be legally problematic. Well, DOCTOR, youre definitely not a lawyer - and neither am I - but there are laws and administrative rules which preclude entry to anyone with various infectious diseases into the U.S. The last thing I have a concern about is they say, its not airborne. Yeah, what if it is?
