President Obama needs to do a News Conference on Ebola with head of CDC.

Needs to give as much information as possible - calm fears while recognizing the seriousness of the situation and telling people what they can/should do to protect themselves and their families. Should do this sooner rather than later. CDC head should explain the technical stuff and reiterate what we should and should not be concerned about. Also frankly acknowledge mistakes which were made and how they are being corrected without scapegoating anyone. Need to do this as soon as it can be set up.
