Nice to see precautions taken but there have been many articles on how hard it is to be infected with Ebola, seeing that (similar to HIV) it needs to be transmitted by bodily fluids (other than cough, sneeze etc). Seems it's being spread in poorer countries mainly due to their inadequate sanitary and living conditions. Perhaps it is our better infrastructure as well as this extra and possibly overly cautious reaction that will not allow it to spread wildly in the US...
