Ebola, news and discussion

[TruTexan]

I think I'm more concerned about foreign travelers bringing that infectious dreaded disease of Ebola over here via air travel. I've studied microbiology, my cousin's wife is a Microbiologist and works at the Lab that tested Duncan's blood sample in Austin, TX. She says not to panic and that the news is making people more fearful than they should be of this disease because it's not airborne. She also says You should be just as concerned about flu virus that has caused many many deaths that IS an airborne virus and that has been known to cause Pandemic outbreaks killing thousands across the Globe.
Me, I'm fearful of it spreading from traveling foreigners lying to airport personnel about being in direct contact with someone that is ill with Ebola and then doing what Duncan did and come to the US.
IT also makes me wonder if he lied in hopes of getting treatment here because he knew he had been in direct contact with someone that was sick with it and was coming here just in case he got sick so he could get better treatment in the states than in Lyberia where he is from, even though he said his reason was for visiting family here. I dunno, all this makes me shiver a bit . I"m not going to full out panic, but I am watching the news here closely in Dallas, I live an hour East of there.

I know it's harsh, but I think travel from African countries should be terminated so as NOT to spread this dreadful disease to other countries. Let the CDC and healthcare workers get those countries educated and in control before travel can resume. Just my .02 and it may be a harsh .02.
