#3 The odious Geraldo Rivera is on Fox as we speak insisting that "this is war" and a total blockade on travel to and from the affected African nations be initiated immediately. Perhaps the scales are falling away.

#4 I am surprised, Geraldo usually has nothing to say of any use.

#5 Despite history rewritten by leftest progressives, temporary relocation [quarantine if you will] does not necessarily have to be a negative experience. Ansel Adams photographs.

#9 States doing the job the Feds can't or won't. CT is the only state I know of that is doing the mandatory quarantine of everyone arriving from the Hot Zone. At least one of our 50 is not AWOL and is taking this issue seriously.

#11 This afternoon both NY and NJ tightened their screening and quarantine policies for people coming in from the Hot Zone:

In a major new state policy for New York and New Jersey, Governors Andrew Cuomo and Chris Christie announced a mandatory quarantine for people returning to the U.S. through area airports who are deemed "high risk."

"We have informed the CDC of our intention and they have agreed that states have the right to establish their own guidelines" with regards to Ebola, Cuomo said.

In the first application of the new set of standards, the states quarantined the female healthcare worker who was returning after taking care of Ebola patients in Sierra Leone.

"We are no longer relying on CDC standards, these are New York and New Jersey standards. And we need New York and New Jersey health officials to work with the CDC to make sure our standards are met before admission to either states," said Gov. Christie.

#12 Other comments on the mandatory quarantine order:

An automatic three-week quarantine makes sense for anyone "with a clear exposure" to Ebola, said Dr. Richard Wenzel, a Virginia Commonwealth University scientist who formerly led the International Society for Infectious Diseases.

Aid organizations such as Doctors Without Borders, the group Spencer was working for, have argued that mandatory quarantines are unnecessary because people with Ebola aren't contagious until symptoms begin, and even then it requires close contact with body fluids.

Also, aid groups have warned that many health care volunteers wouldn't go to Ebola hot zones if they knew they would be confined to their homes for three weeks after they got back.
"A three-week complete quarantine would eliminate two-thirds to three-quarters of the volunteers from the U.S." going to West Africa, said Dr. Rick Sacra, a Massachusetts physician who was recently infected in Liberia but recovered. "They wouldn't be able to spare the time."

#13 NY Post said another US physician who treated Ebola patients in the Hot Zone came through JFK & is on his way back home to Palo Alto, between yesterday & today. He will be self-monitoring.
