re: Taking in foreign Ebola patients...

My point is that there's no good reason to bring Ebola infected patients from West Africa to the U.S. for treatment when it would be much safer and cost effective for them to receive medical care at home.

Then that's your argument. Just say that. No reason to jump off the pier comparing Ebola to AQ.

Now on those points we can argue whether it's safer and more cost effective seperately. I have made an argument that if they are brought over in a controlled environment it is safer for the doctors treating them than to do it in West Africa where doctors can be exposed when they aren't suited up. I would also argue that it could be more cost effective in the short term because we could treat more cases which would lower the counts exponentially in the future.

But your arguments are valid and we haven't gotten into the details of costs or exposures, so I will give you an up vote on this post.
