Instead of an effective response, what we have witnessed, i believe these past few months from various agency has been confusing and at times contradictory plans. For example, the cdcs guidance to hospitals has been a moving target. This uncertainty may have exposed Health Care Professionals to unnecessary risks. The administration also has sent mixed messages on the issue of quarantine. While the president has discouraged straight quarantine rules, defense secretary hagel has prudently put in place a 21day mandatory quarantine for troops returning from west africa. In addition, the administration did not call for enhanced airport screenings for travelers entering the u. S. From west africa until months after the epidemic became severe. It still remains to be seen whether these cursory screenings will be effective. Not surprisingly, americans have been frustrated by the lack of clarity and coordination within their government.

My strong suggested principles of this, first we must fight the disease at its epicenter in west andca, in liberia, guinea sierra leone. We also want to look at countries near these areas where it has not spread. We want to use the expertise of the department of state, usaid, nih, fda, any Government Agency that can play our role in making the world, with africa, and america safe. That is what we want to do. The second principle is we must protect america. We must do it at our points of entry. Finally, we need to utilize the best science and a ploy of Public Health agencies in a way that is effective. That is for the cdc, our state and local Health Departments, scientists developing vaccines and treatments at nih and approving their safety and efficacy at fda. As we look at what government w
