Obviously, no (at least I don't think so) because of its nature. But that said, I think the real worry people should have is how well authorities will follow protocol in dealing with Ebola, both as it concerns actual and suspected cases.

I think this will expose just how not ready a lot of governments and institutions are to deal with a crisis.

And the bottom line with the Texas patient? He was turned away because he had no insurance? Why am I not surprised?

I hope the nurse pulls through but last I heard she was deteriorating.
