And if Ebola spread in the saliva and threw sneezing, it is already airborne transmissible for personal contact distances.
I'm not sure how the U.S. shuts down air travel out of Western Africa. We can control what flights come into the U.S. but that doesn't address people that take non-direct flights.
As far as numbers being under reported, there's no doubt in my mind that is/will be the case here to.

"DEVELOPING – The Texas Department of State Health Services said in a statement early Sunday that a health care worker at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, where patient Thomas Eric Duncan died of Ebola last week, tested positive for the virus, according to preliminary results."

:iagree:
Trying to narrow down everyone a health worker has had contact with will be close to impossible. If you are a praying type, now would be the time to say a few if you haven't already.

They would just fly into Mexico and walk across the border. Unless we make some drastic changes there is no containing it.
