Well we can either spend now and halt outbreaks, or pay later.
Somehow I think we can find the money to pay to halt it now.

The ambulance that transported Mr Duncan to the hospital was left in service for 48hours before it was taken offline and decontaminated! You had emts and the public with needless exposure.
Thanks for the clarification. I agree, right now they are, but soon could become a huge issue.

Train immune Ebola survivors to help medics, says UK nurse Will Pooley
Briton, who hopes to return to Sierra Leone, recalls tragic story of Douda Fullah, who lost family to virus but helps in hospital
The Guardian, Thursday 9 October 2014 16.18 EDT
The British nurse who survived Ebola has said he believes immune survivors should be trained to assist healthcare workers in the fight against the disease.
Will Pooley hopes to return to Sierra Leone after doctors advised him he would have antibodies to make him immune to the virus for months to come.

According to this article, Deputy Monig first called the Dallas Co. Medical Director. He was told by Dallas Co. Medical Director, Dr. Charles Perkins, to either go to his doctor or to an urgent care facility if he was unable to get an appointment with his doctor. Deputy Monig followed instructions as recommended.

Thanks for this.
So much for the criticism of Deputy Monnig. After hearing more of the story late the day it occurred, it became clear that this was not his doing. One thing that does give me pause is the ebola expert in CO who said Monnig's follow up was not within guidelines. All the "experts" need to get on the same page with this stuff ASAP so the public can have confidence in their decisions. IMO, of course.

It seems like the perception is shock that "in America what happened in Dallas is amazing- or this notion that we offer the best heath care in the world. The only health care dynamic we rank as number one is in cost to every pt.

Switching gears ....It seems like it might be IMO a good idea if they start (individuals willing) to began to store blood from the serving folks. It is a solid medical notion that being exposed to many silliness, the building of antibodies can be very effective. I wonder why it seems like they are doing it on a specific case basis.
Shifting again! "Entry screening in the UKA statement on the Department of Health's website is not recommended by the World Health Organization, and there are no plans to introduce entry screening for Ebola in the UK." BBC
I was reading that one Senator is holding up the funds for the West African assistance. Everyone else voted in favor. He wants more information on how the funds will be spent he says.
