Containment

Stupidity is going to be our downfall. "Containing" a possible disease outbreak has got to be taken more seriously. At this time, there is no reason to panic about ebolavirus. Admittedly, I was angry when I heard that they brought an infected doctor to Atlanta. The key to that success was, they kept it contained. Everything was fine, no outbreak.

Another infected person comes to Dallas on a commercial airline and 4 days later goes to a hospital with symptoms. He notifies them that he just came from Liberia, he's given antibiotics and sent home. 4 more days later, they finally got around to testing and confirming that he is carrying ebola. 80 people now under observation, including his family and school kids.

Authorities "quarantine" his family, but don't enforce it. Family members break the quarantine so authorities place armed guards to prevent further possible spread. That's where we are now but I'll bet we end up with more cases. Now is the time to get serious about containment! It's got to stop or we'll have another plague on our hands. Hysteria and panic won't help, calm and smart moves are what are needed.
