(7,906 posts)Absolutely agree. I have also stated many times that I would never use the term "zero risk".
"because while doctors and nurses fully understand what they undertake in dealing voluntarily with ebola patients, and are on the lookout for their own health, ordinary citizens are completely unaware and thus can't protect themselves or their families adequately should they encounter the virus"
And that is why we are doing contact tracing. Those people are found, and educated, and instructed on what to do if they become ill. This does not interfere with their lives, save the stigmatism. If they appear to not understand the instructions, or if the public in uninformed, panicking and creating an issue for their safety, (which has been extremely hurtful in this situation) they are then quarantined. That is why we took in the homeless man in Dallas and quarantined him.
Ebola is a very serious disease, but the fear about it is becoming very unreasonable, and very unfortunate.
