Yes, but it's the risk and that it can spread and become a worldwide epidemic. They really don't know much about it at this stage. At least with AIDS there is more information about it. I hope you guys contain it. It only takes one person. Given that the doctor treating these patients has died and he would have taken every precaution, I wouldn't be too relaxed about it being in the US. I think Donald Trump is right on this one. It should not have been brought to the US mainland.
Aussie' I agree wholeheartedly. These two medical professionals contracted Ebola and they were taking the reccommeded precautions.
