Some effort at closing borders is being discussed. I doubt it could be totally effective on the African continent. Investigation of how it was transmited to American health workers at home is underway. I have to believe some Africans would have to be already on the run from the really bad areas. I know I would be. A percentage will be already infected and not know it.

I suspect the transmission was by oversight in the texas hospital. Still on the other hand I seriously suspect they are watching for any sign of the mutations of the virus changing the transmission charactaristics.

This is still the real risk that is not being adaquatly protected against in north America. The virus is becoming much more familiar with the human animal. Odds are low but the chance is still too great to not have holding tanks for twenty one days for anyone going from Africa to Europe or north America.

It is better to have some inconvienience than the potential alternative. At least until a good anti viral drug known to work well is available easily for this virus.

If I were a politician I would act. Simply as a matter of common sense fully realizing if it really got loose in an easier transmittable form in north America. My parties goose would be cooked or totally destroyed on the basis of negligence. Where is public health and disease control anyways?

This virus is no joke. As of today two Americans sick that need not have happened are two many already. It was avoidable.
