The military doesn't expect any service members returning from West Africa will come down with Ebola. But officials at Langley Air Force Hospital have a plan.

Good one, SPC(P) Private RallyPoint Member. "Saul" has a part to play in the process. It's interesting that in that article they say the military has to work out the details of quarantine. I saw another article about Army personnel returning from the Ebola fight in Africa already being in quarantine. Maybe that was in Italy, where the local (Italian) authorities are not exactly appreciating their potentially infected American "guests."

Here's the story I saw:

Army general speaks out from mandatory Ebola qurantine

Major General Darryl Williams is one of the more than a dozen Army soldiers who were put into a mandatory quarantine after returning from service in the Ebola hot zone of Liberia.
