Ebola quarantines in U.S.: Are they warranted?

As many people know
Ebola has been spreading like a wildfire in West Africa, and after deploying
more than seven hundred international staff to treat Ebola patients in West
Africa, a Doctors Without Borders doctor has been diagnosed with Ebola after
returning home to New York City. As soon
as it was released that another doctor got Ebola and came to the United states
the argument for better protocols became a lot more vivid. The only two people
that the doctor had extended contact with since he's been back are his fiancée
and two of his friends. They are now in quarantine for 21 days or until it is
proven that they did not catch Ebola.
My opinion on this
situation is that the US should've had the best machines there to scan or test
people for Ebola before letting them come to America. They should also have a
daily check in the hospitals to make sure every suit is uncontaminated and usable
to avoid someone catching Ebola. I believe that after this, the US will start
to check THEIR borders more thoroughly instead of the African border. this will
be un successful because Ebola will already be in the US.
