Before contracting Ebola, Brantly and his family “really enjoyed Liberia.”
“They were very well-adjusted,” said Ken Kauffeldt, the country director for Samaritan’s Purse in Monrovia.
Liberia’s health ministry is investigating how Brantly contracted the virus.
“We’re trying to figure out what went wrong because he was always very careful,” said Tolbert Nyenswah, an assistant health minister in Monrovia.
Amber Brantly and the children departed for a wedding in the U.S. just days before Brantly fell ill and quarantined himself.
They are currently staying with family in Abilene and, while not subject to quarantine, are monitoring their temperatures for an early sign of viral infection, a City of Abilene spokeswoman said.
Their return has sparked questions about whether they might introduce the infection to the U.S.
However, Stephan Monroe of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday that “Ebola poses little risk to the general U.S. population.”
MEANWHILE, EBOLA COMING TO GEORGIA

I thought it read:
“Before contracting Ebola, Brantly and his family “really enjoyed Liberals.”
Need more coffee.
Fewer Leftists.
If these twits “really enjoyed Liberia” I can’t wait for their postcards from Dante’s seventh ring.
Wait, I thought we had death panels in place.
“Ebola poses little risk to the general U.S. population.”
Biggest BS sentence in the whole article! Hell, we’ve got scabies, TB, HIV, hepatitis, chicken pox, lice, coming over our borders every single day. It’s just not all Mexicans that are coming either, they’re catching Chinese and middle easterners coming across. We are screwed.
Goldenfoxx, the CDC is more concerned about guns these days. When my dad worked there in the 60’s, CDC stood for Communicable Disease Center. It was too hard to shoehorn other agendas into that acronym, so it changed to Center for Disease Control. Now, they hardly know what to do with actual viruses and bacterias, but they can lecture you all week about firearms. Talk about Mission Creep.
Wait. They have no idea how Brantley contracted the virus? My understand is that Ebola is passed through a very specific set of circumstances.
If they can’t prove those specific contact points for Brantley, then we’ve got a serious problem. Because that means it can be passed through respiration. And you don’t want go there.
Though Tom Clancy did with his novel Executive Orders. Read it.
I wonder how long it will be before Stephan Monroe of the CDC is also saying “We’re trying to figure out what went wrong”.

Um…Nothing to see here TEAbaggers, go back to sleep.
Ummm… if you haven’t read the article, he’s a doctor/missionary who was treating Ebola patients. Worth reading the article or any other you can find. Heartbreaking story. Other doctors have caught it and died during this outbreak.
I’m really torn. The doctor and maybe the other American with the disease will be traveling in sealed “pods” so shouldn’t be transmitting any air to the outside world. I don’t trust the CDC or the reassurances of the “experts,” yet this disease does need to be studied in labs in order to find a way to cure it, or at least halt it.
Let’s just hope that while the good doctor is recovering, Obugger decides to go do a photo op and sticks his face over the salad bar shield in the CDC’s quarantine room.
I think Abilene should be concerned
Sorry–posted before I saw the earlier piece about the doctor.
