    We are blowing this out of proportion. By this example. We should have done this with H1N1, Bird flu, etc.

    Agreed

    Nope we're screwed. Done.

    They should have never even brought the stupid Ebola to the Omaha Metro. Try and contain it where it originated, and work up from there.

    That's crazy that it started to pop up in Central Africa around 2004 but is just now spreading like wildfire over there and coming to the US.

Quarantined family of Ebola victim in US left to mourn in isolation - 1 views

  •  
    It had been planned as a vigil, but the service quickly turned into a memorial once the news broke that Ebola had killed Eric Duncan, the virus's first victim in the US.
  •  
    I think it's awful and so unfortunate that at a time like this the family can't be at Eric's funeral. I can't begin to imagine how it would be to have to handle that and be quarantined in a house away from other family members even until the 21 day incubation period is over.
