This should have never happened. The question should be asked why was this individual from Liberia allowed to enter the U.S. Why aren't our borders closed to all of these ground zero countries until this is under control. Why did the hospital staff not question and pass on to everyone that this individual was from Liberia. You let him go home for Gods sake. What the hell is wrong with you. The CDC says they are screening people before being allowed to leave the infected countries. Using questioners and handheld temperature gauges. Are you kidding me. Shouldn't they at least be quarantined for a incubation period to make sure they are not infected before allowed to leave. This happened because of poor leadership. And don't give me any political correct BS. Poor leadership plain and simple.

Actually it is highly contagious. Hence the CDCs recommendations of standard, contact, and droplet precautions. Also, if it wasn't contagious, how did 2 aide workers contract it while wearing the Tyvek suits? Here is the CDC recs. Bummer is, the only real way of quick diagnosis is by taking the person's travel history, and history of symptoms. Lab testing takes a few days and at least in this area is done by USAMRID.

I agree, additionally, this is what the CDC states on their website. Note the last paragraph. Makes our job fun huh right Chris?
"Because the natural reservoir host of Ebola viruses has not yet been identified, the manner in which the virus first appears in a human at the start of an outbreak is unknown. However, researchers believe that the first patient becomes infected through contact with an infected animal.
When an infection does occur in humans, the virus can be spread in several ways to others. Ebola is spread through direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with
blood or body fluids (including but not limited to urine, saliva, feces, vomit, and semen) of a person who is sick with Ebola
objects (like needles and syringes) that have been contaminated with the virus
infected animals
Ebola is not spread through the air or by water, or in general, food. However, in Africa, Ebola may be spread as a result of handling bushmeat (wild animals hunted for food) and contact with infected bats.
Healthcare providers caring for Ebola patients and the family and friends in close contact with Ebola patients are at the highest risk of getting sick because they may come in contact with infected blood or body fluids of sick patients."
