Mr. Duncan didn't take a direct flight to Texas, how many countries would you have impose restrictions upon themselves because of a person that exhibited no symptoms of Ebola? Would you shut down the hospital that sent him home a day after training the staff about Ebola procedures thus causing people to be exposed for two more days and probably signing Duncan's death certificate?
The United States has had 3 or 4 patients with Ebola, quick, when should we close our borders? Should Spain close their borders? Hurry, we need answers now before it gets much worse.
Now as a former medical professional are you prepared to talk about how we can speed up research for a cure and increasing drug production? How about training for the people of West Africa so they can better protect themselves and in doing so help protect the rest of the world from Ebola?
There are medical professionals putting their lives on the line by going to West Africa and facing the risk head on to help alleviate the pain and suffering of those people and my heart goes out to them. I don't know if I would have the courage to do that even if I was qualified, but I do have the courage to never deny them any and all aid including returning to the United States for treatment, if they need it. Then we have some that just want to close the doors and lock them.
