I've got no objection to people going out there to help, infact I think it's admirable that they would risk their lives to help others; but there is no way that the rest of us should be put at risk. It's now been proven that the screening measures they have put in place at the airports don't work. Ebola has a gestation period of 21 days before it begins to show symptoms. So if you are out there helping and pick it up the day before you leave to come home, it won't show for three weeks. Airport screening is absolutely useless. The only way to prevent it from spreading is to put anyone who's been working with the disease into isolation for 28 days over there in Africa before allowing them to get on a plane.
It's simple: it beats me why they aren't doing that.
