Ebola debate needs informed people

To those who minimize the threat of Ebola in the U.S., if you are entering a restaurant for lunch and someone you suspect has been exposed to Ebola is leaving, what do you decide to do for lunch? I rest my case.

It is not paranoid or excessive to limit the comings and goings of people from infected countries to the United States. There is much that is not understood including the handling of waste from these patients. If it is simply being flushed into our water system, that is problem that is not properly considered. This is not a joke or a forum for political posturing. We are dependent on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to do their job without influence from uninformed sources on either side of the argument.
