Nurse called CDC before her flight to ask if she was still OK to travel despite running a low grade fever. Not only the hospitals that need to get their protocols right...

Two so far! Doesn't sound a lot, but when you consider 'Doctors without Borders' have treated thousands of ebola patients and only 16 workers have caught it ! The 2 off one infected person in USA, looks utterly stupid and reckless !

But this whole Texas thing must be a bit of a worry to the yanks

Concerned a hosptial in a large city with a large immigrant (including West Africian) population wasn't better prepared. But not at all worried about a major outbreak.

Hospitals all over the US have gotten a major wake up call with what has happened in Dallas.

The Ebola treatments were only in early testing stages - ie experimental. They only had a few doses to use in said testing. Since it's been ok'd to use despite this, they are trying to ramp up production, but still talking about small labs, but big manufacturers.

Steady.... ; )

Don't mess with Texas!

A little right wing we may be, but if all else fails, we'll just shoot everyone with ebola! That'll sort it.

The venue for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations finals is in major doubt after the proposed hosts, Morocco, reiterated its fears over the Ebola outbreak on the continent.

The Confederation of African Football (Caf) received a letter from the Moroccan government last week asking for the tournament to be called off and had agreed to discuss the plans at the next executive committee meeting on 2 November. The prospective hosts proposed either postponing the tournament until next year or allowing them to switch to the 2017 edition instead.
...
The 2013 hosts South Africa are now tipped to take over after reports that the country’s Football Association was already in negotiations with Caf, although Sudan and Egypt have also expressed an interest in hosting the tournament. Ghana’s sports minister Mahama Ayariga confirmed they are also considering a request from Caf to take over hosting duties.
