There were reports that it would be wrong to ban folks from those countries with ebola rampant to the US. Can someone please explain it to me . I am at a loss,

when they segregate horses at a track and donot allow them to ship out when there is an outbreak, how is this different ? I must be dense.

Always good to make a joke of something serious.

The first one:

"Boil all bodily fluids before consumption"

Another one:

"Avoid eating bat soup, which is actually pretty sound advice whether there’s an ongoing Ebola outbreak or not."

+ If outside the US and suspect you have contracted ebola, do whatever it takes (lie, even!) to get back stateside for treatment.

" COMMUNICABILITY: Communicable as long as blood, body fluids or organs, contain the virus. Ebolavirus has been isolated from semen 61 to 82 days after the onset of illness, and transmission through semen has occurred 7 weeks after clinical recovery Footnote 1 "

http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/r.../ebola-eng.php

So much for 21 day monitoring
