What is FUD about it? This is potentially how a epidemic starts.

Stopping this spread depends on everyone checking into a hospital when potential ebola symptoms start, which doesn't happen. Even the current patient didn't think to go to the hospital when he became symptomatic. He potentially infected others. Those contacts have to be traced and put in observational quarantine before they become symptomatic, if they do. If one contact was infected and is missed by the epidemiologists, then the whole process starts over, because whoever it is probably won't know it's ebola and will be symptomatic for days before getting more serious and going to the hospital.

We're also close to the flu season, which has a lot of overlapping early symptoms. If nobody else was infected, or if they proactively quarantine everyone who was infected before symptoms start, then we're good. Otherwise...

I don't understand why there are flights allowed out of ebola-stricken countries. We know ebola has an incubation period. This was just a matter of time.
