        Why are we continuing to allow people to come into the country from Liberia?!?! What is wrong with this picture?

          The Sci-Fi geek in me wants to think there are some Orwellian things going on...

            Something ridiculous is definitely going on.

              Either something insidious is going on, a massive breakdown of the CDC or we are just getting too much news and overacting to every little bit of Ebola news....or a little of all three...

                  I don't think that there can be an overreaction to new Ebola news. Most people that get it, die, and not an easy death, a horrid one. I'm not sure I believe that it's "hard to catch", but I'm pretty sure we are going to find out how true that really is in the next month.

                    I just read the full article, and the 2 students who went to Liberia voluntarily isolated themselves upon their return. That's the responsible thing to have done. Also, Connecticut is going to enforce that anyone who has been to an affected country has to be isolated for 21 days when they return, whether or not they were around people with Ebola. That's more like it.

                      @Dominica much smarter. You realize if the rest of the world did that, that everyone coming from the US would be quarantined? Imagine how tough that would be. The small amount of Liberian traffic is easy to lock down for a little bit. But every US business person and tourist globally would be a massive strain on the world economy.
