The Emory University Hospital team that is handling this has been studying and practicing for years on how to deal with a situation like this. I don't have any worries about anything spreading from these two people because of the extreme precautions being taken. However, as a doctor just said, we've known for 40 years that this virus was in existence and is deadly, and not much has been done about it until now.
It's certainly not out of the realm of possibility that it could spread from Africa, but hopefully other countries have taken the precautions of learning how to handle it and it could be contained without becoming a pandemic.
True. And an American has already died of Ebola, which he contracted while visiting relatives in Liberia. He was quarantined there, but died anyway.
I do believe the U.S. is more equipped to deal with the palliative care and the isolation required. At least I hope so, since the CDC intends to send 50 "experts" to West African countries to help with the outbreak. And I'm sure they intend to return here.
I don't think 50 is enough, and yet we can't send every one we have.

Hi MM 
The Georgia staff is going to learn so much from these two, like what helped and what didn't, how the virus works and more. And they'll have blood and tissue samples to study and work with in the future.
It's inevitable that someone will come to the US with it, and we need to be prepared. That serum is already a blessing, now if we can find out how it works on the body and the virus, that will be major.

....and if it worked. Doctors on the expected talking head circuit have already said that the two missionaries may not have been at a critical point in the disease.

But if it worked because they were not at a critical point, meaning it was probably too late, that would still mean that so many people could be helped that were starting to get sick, if they were caught in time.
