Just reported within the last hour...
A television cameraman for NBC news in Liberia has been confirmed to have Ebola and will be transported back to the USA for treatment.
Can't they treat him there?

Sept 16th President Obama ordered 3,000 military personnel and 65 experts from the public health service corps to 'combat' ebola and staff a U.S. military hospital in Liberia.
A senior U.S. official speaking on the condition of anonymity stated, "What is clear is in order to combat and contain the outbreak at it's source, we need to partner and lead an international response."

I think it's time to put Liberia on lock down.
Seems to me....
It's bad enough putting 3,000 military personnel at risk to exposure and potentially dragging it back here to their families.
But how does partnering with other countries to send in more personnel cut the risk of spreading it?
Wouldn't that increase the chances of spreading it to more countries?
