Now they are sending 3000 troops over there...
Come on, unless they are doctors, that is just going to increase chances that American troops are going to get infected.

Traffic where I work is going to be an absolute scream today with the POTUS's visit.
It takes approximately 3 healthcare workers for every sick person to treat them well enough that they have a decent chance of recovery -- at this point, personnel shortages, not money, are the main sticking point.
There is a second outbreak (unrelated, it's a different strain) of Ebola happening in the Congo. Some cases related to the main outbreak have been reported in Senegal, too.

They can't send any troops after the ISIS cowards but they send that large an amount of troops to a non war zone area...I would love to know what the mission is for these men and women.
I heard this morning it's to help train people and help out I guess..we can help the world before ourselves

To touch on previous comments. I just watched a documentary called Fed Up. One of the "interviewees" was David Keesler former FCA commissioner. They stated that food related disease (not including infectious) such as diabetes, thyroid disease, and obesity related illnesses have surpassed famine in number of deaths globally, annually. More people die from eating too much junk food than people die from starvation.
I think we attribute our increased lifespans in the recent era to better diet and food availability. We're finding that sanitation (food, water, sewage processing, washing and cleaning, food storage and preparation, etc.) Is the main factor here. Not as much an increase in the quality of our food, other than decreasing the occurrence of food borne infectious illnesses. Because of the use of synthetic fertilizers in US commercial agriculture, and the industry ignoring secondary and micro nutrient supplementation: One cup of spinach in 1945 contained as much iron as 64 cups do today.
On a different note, I find confusion too that US is sending thousands of troops to deal with a disease that can be prevented by simple sanitation standards that we already have in place here. Teaching people in these places how the disease is spread, sanitary habits, and helping them build hospitals, clean water wells and sewage processing would help prevent the spread of ebola more than 3000 armed troops.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! These people are literally a day away from starvation in many of the areas. NOT a priority. There is NO rule of law in these areas. Who are going to staff those hospitals? Who is going to protect the construction site from armed looters? Who's going to guard the food/medical/supplies/etc?
Hard to argue with that one.I think the whole Iraq/Gulf situation has damned near bankrupted this country.Here's hoping that the troop personnel are well trained enough themselves and don't contract any of the virus.
There will be very explicit training instruction! I certainly hope that they will be able to stick to it under duress.
