5. Same problem again. I think they can be better cared for, and kept safe from mischief at a hospital.

I only say this because it's not like they're going to be able to work, go to school or any other activities until they are cleared. I don't like this kind of thing, don't get me wrong, it seems to be a violation of their rights. I may be overreacting, but it's less about them to me, than the wingnuts.

The rightwingnuts will stoke up all the hysteria they can, and I don't want to see them mobbed or otherwise attacked. I hope cooler heads will prevail and professionals will be in charge of all patients who suffer from this disease or are just suspected of it.

There will be hatred directed at people who come down with it, I fear, like those with AIDS. If they can be kept safe at home, fine. If they are not infectious, fine.

I don't want to see this blown out of proportion like the rightwingnuts want it to be. Fearful folks don't think clearly.

And because this is seen as an 'African disease,' there is an element of racism from wingnuts.
