If the official WHO decision is to quarantine, then they should quarantine, but Governor Christie is playing politics with Ebola and I think he needs to pay dearly for that. As well, there are very established quarantine facilities at almost any hospital and putting her where they put her was again, playing for politics.
If they play politics, then they need to pay to play. This is just fanning the fears of Americans who are really, really, chickenshit, with some notable exceptions.
Ebola didn't matter to anyone when it was confined to African villages. For the most part, it still is. It will not become an epidemic and your family will not likely ever be impacted. Ebola doesn't have what it takes to become an epidemic beyond it's lucky score of hitting some populated areas and it's still going to burn out. That's what Ebola does. On the meantime, the only silver lining is a vaccine company may decide this just became a money maker and get off their asses and get a vaccine. That is really the only thing that would make this idiocy worth anything.
Now H1N1 was set to decimate the human population and because of nothing but luck, we escaped that one. One day, one of them is going to get us. It won't be Ebola.
