US may start screening air passengers for Ebola

Looks like the US is considering screening
passengers from Ebola hit countries before
they enter the country. This is coming about a
week after a Liberian man entered the country
with Ebola. President Obama said yesterday
that though the likelihood of an Ebola
outbreak in the US is "extremely low' but they
have to react.
"We're also going to be working on protocols
to do additional passenger screening both at
the source and here in the United States.
Countries that think that they can sit on the
sidelines and just let the United States do it,
that will result in a less effective response, a
less speedy response, and that means that
people die."
"And it also means that the potential spread
of the disease beyond these areas in West
Africa becomes more imminent," President
Obama said at the White House briefing with
US health officials
The Liberian man who became the first case
of Ebola diagnosed on American soil, Thomas
Eric Duncan, is in a critical condition in a
hospital isolation unit in Dallas.
