        @UVsays @Atul_Gawande It's not, but if we dont throw $10Bs at it now in W Africa, Africa will burn to the ground, and guess what, we're next

        @justinreilly1 @Atul_Gawande #Ebola could affect any country not just the U.S. Shouldn't there be a global effort to contain the threat?

        @UVsays @Atul_Gawande of course there should; unfortunately only the US, UK, Cuba, MSF and a few other NGOs are stepping up.

        @justinreilly1 @Atul_Gawande Their efforts should be appreciated & applauded. It's unfair to demand the US should shoulder the #Ebola burden
