If you survive ebola, the effects might not last as long as a disease you might get from a Kardashian, either.

True story-
Having dinner one night about 3 years ago and I see the restaraunt staff hustling what appeared to be three hookers into a private dining room.
I make a comment to my table about this being an awfully nice place for someone to be sneaking in 3 cheap hookers (I would expect high priced call girls who don't look like street walkers).
One guy from SoCal laughs at me and informs me it was the Kardashian sisters (and it was).
Funnyon a lot of different levels. Primarily My absolute ignorance of pop culture and the fact pop culture celebrates a pack of cheap hookers.

The restaurant was probably sequestering them for the protection of the other diners. Those Health Dept. inspectors can be really fussy about contamination.

Patient in New York City Tests Positive for Ebola
A doctor in New York City who recently returned from treating Ebola patients in Guinea tested positive for the Ebola virus Thursday, becoming the city’s first diagnosed case.
The doctor, Craig Spencer, was rushed to Bellevue Hospital on Thursday and placed in isolation while health care workers spread out across the city to trace anyone he might have come into contact with in recent days. A further test will be conducted by the federal Centers for Disease Control to confirm the initial test.
While officials have said they expected isolated cases of the disease to arrive in New York eventually, and had been preparing for this moment for months, the first case highlighted the challenges surrounding containment of the virus, especially in a crowded metropolis.

So, he went there, treated Ebola patients, traveled back to one of the world's most densely populated cities, but didn't have the IQ of a sack of gravel to think he might want to isolate himself for at least three weeks? Then instead conducts an experiment to see how many varied forms of public transportation and public places he could visit for ten days before confirming he was infected?
Is the actual first sign of Ebola infection galloping stupidity or merely self-absorbed disregard for the safety and well-being of those around you?
Patients, maybe. Everybody else in friggin' New York City, not so much:
BTW, multiple news sources now saying it is confirmed he is infected.

Why should it even be a choice for them to leave without being held in quarantine for 21 days. Red Foreman DUMBASS award....

Didn't you hear? It's impossible to to have a list, like say doctors without borders volunteers that have just been working with Ebola victims, and stop them from coming back into the U.S. until they are clear. It's just not practical.
Also the lucrative trade corridors with west Africa we need to keep open or something like that.
Regardless, the common flu is more dangerous than an Ebola infected peckerwood jaunting all over Manhattan. Or was it a lightning strike I should be more concerned with?
Don't remember but there is nothing to worry about, quit being hysterical.

SoCal, Baby!
I'm not concerned because I have no reason to contract the disease, just like about 99.9999 percent of Americans. I'd be concerned if I were an emergency room physician in New York, but no one here has said they have that job.
Again, no American who hasn't spent time in equatorial west Africa has died of Ebola. My advice would be to put those vacation plans in Burkina Faso on hold for awhile.

My wife is on call at a hospital less than an hour train ride (oh the irony of that) from where this guy was just rolling the dice with other people's lives. She works the ward that the administrators have decided will take any Philly Ebola victims. They still haven't been trained for shit. So pardon me if I am not as flippant with this as you are.
As far as the odds go, if the government could do something as basic to their reason for existence as protect their own borders the odds would be even better.
