While we are not screening travelers from Africa, Africa is screening us.

Rwanda...the nation linked to the word genocide...seems to think it makes sense to screen for ebola, what can we learn from this World leader in medicine?

Ebola-free Rwanda to screen travelers from U.S.

As U.S. tightens defenses against Ebola, Rwanda implements its own measures for passengers from affected nations

Will we ever learn or will we dodge the bullet again? I think the answers are 'no' and 'yes'.

Excellent post, MSG Brad Sand. The obvious difference I noted is that Rwanda is going to require visitors to report on their health while they are in the country. We do a check at the airport and let 'em go. That's a problem in my book, especially because the symptoms may not appear for up to 21 days. Screening only at airports is like putting a band-aid on a gaping wound.
