With the Ebola virus controversies circulating on the web and television, what are your views about the virus? Is there a break through cure or is it something that leads to a dead end ?

Well I can't speak for Ebola, but as a general rule it seems like information is pretty scarce on the disease.

I found this to be an interesting read: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3499825/

Essentially, the reviewer seems to feel nobody has done a great job of tracking the disease (or treatment approaches) in any of its outbreaks. Given that they happen sporadically in Africa, I guess that isn't a huge surprise.

It's not really one but just the thought of it circulating through news make me wonder, what does the medical side of the house has to say

What controversy?

I'm assuming he's referring to the decision to bring the actively infected folks back to the US.

Yes correct!

Yes correct!

Nope. You already stated there is no controversy.

I don't see the problem with bringing back the sick people. As far as I know, Spain did it too.
Since the virus is spread only through secretions (as far as I know), and personnel transferring the patient is highly trained and well protected (and the infected person isn't in touch with anyone else), there is almost no risk for the general public. I really don't see the problem (except for the mass hysteria, generally started by people who know very little about ebola in the first place).
