Keith,
Apparently you missed the video linked earlier in this thread:

This appears to be a straight forward piece by Shepard Smith (from FOX) saying this isn't the time to foment fear and panic among the American public.
Trying to point fingers of blame and spreading disinformation will not help in the effort to stop this disease.
We can do better tracking of people and the disease by not having travel bans. Travel bans will have possibly infected people going to another country without travel bans to travel to our shores without screening. Having protocols in place in the areas where Ebola is epidemic will do more to keep it from getting beyond its present confines.
If you want a fact that is scary, even a bit terrifying is we currently do not have a Surgeon General in the United States to form a coordinated response. This is due to political posturing and fear of big money being used against candidates.
To me these factors are currently a bigger threat to our lives and freedoms than a handful of Ebola cases caused by medical missteps that are now being addressed.
As the days advance on this, medical teams are being made aware of proper handling and procedures to deal with those who may have come into contact with Ebola infected patients.
We can take a reasoned approach to this challenge. The alternative is to scream and shout while running in circles and causing mass hysteria.
My choice is almost always to take the reasoned approach. Develop a plan and adjust it as needed.
