Maybe the world could join together to help Africa isolate & eradicate Ebola. Use WAR money. Seems to be an endless supply.

Quarantine people who MUST leave affected areas IN Africa. Short quarantine period. FAIR to the World and to them. Just DO it now.

Someday we will all have a view of the World & not just our own country. This view will raise our IQs and let us come up w global solutions
