Let’s Try to stay on topic and not talk about dreamland fantasy kidnapping of family members.

The bottom line is a medical professional knew the risks came down with Ebola and should not have been brought back to the states with active disease.

At least I admit that my scenario is a "what-if" and that my hopes about how I would act do not constitute that I would indeed act that way.

We never got around to it due to the back-and-forth, but I tend to agree that we should consider all risks before bringing someone back - I just don't believe we should do a blanket condemnation to those who, knowing the risks, still tried to do something for their fellow humans despite the risks. While they knew there were risks, it wasn't considered a suicide mission and we do have very good methods available to allow pretty safe transport of some selected few folks - it's not like we just load them up on public transport, surround them with healthy folks, and hope for the best. Per the multitude of stories, we seem to have some of the best possible facilities and folks to treat and contain. I feel safer with them staying away, but I wouldn't want to make the call without having all the facts.

I apologize for my demeanor in the previous posts - it served no good purpose.
