Exactly. On one hand, participating in Doctors Without Borders seems very noble. On the other, I can't help but think "what an arrogant ***hat".
I mean, really, Oct 17? After a month of reports about medical professionals contracting the disease, he decides to come back and run around NYC? Hubris. And foolishness.
But don't worry -- our government's leadership has appointed Ron Klain, a lawyer and political hack, as the "Ebola Czar"... What could possibly go wrong?
anybody worried about ebola virus spreading?

I'm still not worried about it. No reason to be.

What concerns me is the number of health workers getting infected.
Earlier today I was reading about the DRC and the fairly regular outbreak of Ebola there.
Different strain , even more lethal percentage wise.
The common thread , many who die are health workers treating the infected.
If it is not very contagious why is this the case?
Its not like the health workers don't know what they are supposed and not supposed to do.
Something does not ring true. -
We're not talking about simply dealing with possible remnants of a booger on a door knob. -
Volunteer medical folks from the first world with limited practice getting in and out of PPE are probably more at risk for infection than the people who have been dealing with the outbreak daily for months...

Two things happened within a short period in the U.S.
First, nobody is shocked because Ebola is on the continent.
Second, it does appear to be the disease of the caretakers for now.
So, public fear subsided in that regards at least somewhat.
Not much of change in West Africa though. But it is not like it really bothered anybody before so time to go back to our bread and circus -
It is not that I am an alarmist but the very high , not moderately high health worker infection rate.
I have a moral conscience but I would not easily get involved with treating this. -
Crawl under a rock and die.
Try to get some 3rd rate treatment in a totally overwhelmed facility swimming in the virus.
Try to get to where there is treatment if only symptomatic support that offers a small glimmer of hope.
I don't condone the actions but understand them.
