ebola has been bouncing around Africa for a long time and hasn't killed everybody. do ya really think it's gonna slam the U.S if Africa can survive decades of it?

Toad, I don't know what interest you have in putting out false information, but today CNN is reporting almost 4500 Ebola deaths. That's more than twice as many as what you wrote.

CNN reporting that Ebola outbreak is running much faster than response

The proper response to the current Ebola problem that has grown larger than it needed to have is to attack it aggressively now, but the Administration is still bumbling along and not doing the things needed to restore the public's confidence in the public health sector.
