Where are all the TV commercials and celebrities coming out to give money for Ebola research and to find a cure? Where are our top scientists and how come they have not manufactured a cure? We have cures for most every disease, Aids, snake bites and more. But I don't see anything in the works for Ebola. Why not? Heck, how rich would a pharmaceutical company get if they were the ones who discovered the cure for Ebola?

Not sure if serious. What about the experimental drugs that are being used on these patients already? There are several drugs being tested already.

The article states that the probability of Influenza going airborne is very low, but the possibility is still there. We can't and shouldn't rule that out.

If this virus does go airborne what should be America's response? Military? Quarantine? Close the docks and borders? End or limit travel?

Influenza spreads through droplets of body fluids just like Ebola and has no trouble causing flu seasons every year. Ebola doesn't need to "go airborne" to be extremely dangerous.
