BTW, sorry for starting a new thread yesterday, did not know about this one.

Firstly, "Mexicans with mops" is plenty for Ebola cleanup. Bleach is a hell of a drug. Not to mention Mexicans get shit done.
Secondly, Ebola is a Level 4 hazard because of its lethality and lack of treatment course, not how easy it is to get infected.
Thirdly, they know that the media will just do things like BLAME THE NRA like MSNBC is doing.
Fourthly, yes we should be screening incoming flights from regions that are affected. This is a no brainer, however it isn't like customs officials are top shelf in the brains department.
Finally, if you do know quite a bit about this, you would know that things like the risk from Marburg is much bigger than Ebola getting out of control in the US or any developed country. Not to mention the flu.
