The vaccine sounds promising, but tens of thousands may die waiting for the test results and for the manufacturer to produce enough doses.
Here’s are a few ideas that don’t require drugs (or waiting). First, indefinitely suspend all air service between the affected areas and destinations in the rest of the world. Secondly, place anyone arriving from those areas in medical quarrantine until it can be determined they are not carrying the disease. Third, round up anyone who has arrived from those countries in the last month or so and put them in quarrantine, too. Then, start monitoring anyone they have come in contact with since coming to the U.S. and consider quarrantining them as well.
Such measures sound draconian, but if they don’t get ahead of it now, you’ll see scenes reminiscent of the great plague in cities around the world. Centuries ago, millions died because doctors didn’t know what to do. This time around, we know how to limit the spread of the disease, but we refuse, because of political correctness.
One last thing, which I saw on another thread (but bears repeating): wonder how many people from the hot zone have crossed our southern border in recent weeks?

If you quarantine everyone who came in contact with anyone who came from those countries in the last month, you'd have one heck of a quarantine going on. I don't think it's feasible. Either to identify them or to quarantine them. Ain't gonna happen.
As far as the southern border goes... There are lots of suicidal terrorists who would volunteer for just such a mission.
