Instead of just posting the numbers of people being monitored for exposure to ebola,

they should also post the number who have been cleared of having the disease as they are declared disease free. Maybe a side-by-side comparison.
This would give people more of an idea of the progress.

Aren't they immune to it now? Could they demand large salaries to be caregivers? Just asking?

to join the ranks of Ebola hospital staffs. But I'm thinking that they don't have a tradition there of "demanding large salaries" for this sort of thing. I think most of them are a bit more community minded than your average cutthroat teabagger.
