I don't know why people get so worked up over this. The actual fatality rate is 50%-90%, which is bad enough, but mostly it's because of poor treatment in isolated areas of remote regions of Africa. It's only transmitted through exchange of bodily fluids, like AIDS, and it's not airborne, like Influenza. Influenza kills 36,000 people in the U.S. every year. Where's the hysteria about that?

 

It's a very inefficient virus! Not like the AIDS virus which can linger in a person's body for months and years spreading throughout the community undetected before it manifests itself into a full blown disease.

 

A virus must have a "host" to survive. When the virus kills it's host the virus dies with it. When a virus like Ebola, or Reston, infects it's host sickening, then killing, it quickly, it is an inefficient virus. It's why the Influenza and AIDS virus can spread worldwide and continue to find hosts.

 

These two workers are known hosts, they will be isolated, and treated. I have no concern about them coming home. They need to be with their families.
