Do Americans have any clue what they are doing? Like who the hell lets a nurse who treated an Ebola patient jump on a public airplane and travel across the country. Like nobody there seems to know what they are doing. On top of that, the nurse develops a fever before she leaves meaning there are a few people on that flight home who possibly could be at risk. Now they have to monitor those 130+ people. It just never ends with these idiots. So there's a 2nd nurse who's caught the disease , possibly more to come in the next few days... like nobody is prepared at all. They talk a big game, but the ground execution is horrible.

The US needs to get a plan in action ASAP. Everyone needs to get on the same page so this can be dealt with properly. Here's what needs to be done

1. Initiate a travel ban for all passengers traveling to and from these west Africa countries. This includes direct and in direct flights. Nobody who's been in Guinea, Sierra Leon, or Liberia can fly here. Do not ban flights for supplies, man power, etc. Just on regular people traveling for leisure. This will ensure supplies still go to these countries.

2. Develop stringent protocols for EVERY nurse to follow. This includes education, safety protocols, etc. No nurse should feel like they are winging it. Make sure they have all the right clothes, protective gear, etc.

3. Isolate EVERY contact of any ebola patient and monitor them. They cannot be allowed to leave the area at all.

4. Every nurse who cares for an Ebola patient can NEVER leave the area, and must be monitored for the 21 days.

5. Limit the number of nurses who care for Ebola patients

6. Focus on sending Ebola patients to quarantine centres with Ebola experts who are used to treating the disease

7. If needed, issue curfews for exposed areas (it worked in Nigeria)

If this was followed, Ebola would have 0 chance and be squashed.
