Lets look at this as rational human beings. Forget the oh bless your poor soul victimized mentality so many people seem to be adopting. Ebola has the potential to be the next large scale viral plague upon all primates (yes creationists, that includes Homo Sapien Sapien). The death toll continues to rise, and luckily the mortality rate of this particular strain remains somewhere between 45-65%. Ebola Reston killed 100% of those it infected, although it only targeted apes. Ebola Zaire claimed a 98% mortality rate. In 20 years there have been no less than 6 encountered strains of Ebola, Marburg, and hemoraghic fever, meaning that it is somewhat prone to rampant mutations. Forget your own personal comfort. Quit complaining about inhumane conditions because guess what? In the GRAND SCHEME of humanity, and worldwide populous, the 21 day hold is the smartest move to be made yet. That covers the virus entire incubation period, ensuring that those detained can be further diagnosed to PREVENT THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS. Is your own personal comfort worth a possible pandemia?
