Just take a peek back at page one of this thread. Interesting how far we've come in such a short time. Surprising? I think not.
Quite so, it seems like those with a healthy suspicion that the repatriation and treatment of infected people would lead to problems in containment. The research by the Canadian scientists proving it can be carried, for short distances, by airborne means, contradicted the earlier statements from the medical experts that it wasn't possible.

From the BBC:

In the United States, questions are being asked about why two nurses who treated an Ebola patient from Africa have themselves become infected.

Another Spanish healthcare worker, who came into contact with a nurse already infected, is being tested for the virus

An Air France passenger with a high fever, reportedly from Nigeria, is to be examined in hospital for Ebola symptoms after arriving in Madrid from Paris

A patient with "Ebola-like" symptoms is being monitored in the US state of Connecticut
Anybody still think the NHS could cope with an outbreak?
