Subject: RE: BS: Anybody else watching Ebola break out?
A well-regulated force of strong nurses? With the ability to enforce quarantine?

I have been saying all along that people coming out of Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia should have a month's quarantine, most easily done by WHO or MSF or the UN between nations, in the transit areas of the airports. It takes up to 3 weeks to show symptoms if you, say, got exposed on your way out of the country at the last possible second; give it an extra week to be sure. The clock resets when any individual gets sick, if any. If it inconveniences a lot of people, that's a lot better than a lot of alternatives... anybody hear about hysteria in Texas? How would you feel if your kid was on a team sport with poor someone whose poor dad got sent home, sorry oops by mistake, with ebola leaking out of his every pore and then some new holes too? I'd be terrified.
