Approximately 10,000 African students from Ebola stricken countries have re-entered the US to continue their college studies. Other than the rudimentary 'fever' screening, these students have not be detained for the incubation period and as far as I know, there is no plan to do so. In all probability they do not represent a health risk to the US citizen at large, but its interesting to me that there was no question of a question about their re-entry.

Miffed was right. Ebola's only natural containment was oceans but we can kiss that good bye.

Should I hold you now or later?

It's a crazy world we are living in Sloane. I could never imagine we would see this level of insanity.

Nor I. It would take one, just one, college student contracting Ebola before this entire country would be in full panic mode. His or her contact list would be in the hundreds.

Question to Ebola patient: How many bars did you go to Saturday night?

Answer: Five or six, mebbe four hundred people in total I came into contact with. That doesn't include my dorm.

As I said, I don't -think- that's going to happen but I do believe that before its contained, we will see more Ebola cases in the US [last count of suspected Ebola cases in isolation in the US is 84] The media isn't going to report on any of it until people are running amok in the streets and then media will have to report it because everyone will know by then.
