Yes. Until it becomes transmissible by air, it is not a epidemic/pandemic risk. If that happens then it would be bad, although not as bad as some of the other possibilities due to how fast it tends to burn itself out in a population.

That was EXACTLY the CDC's line of bullshit when this Ebola outbreak started.  

Didn't want to create a panic I guess.

The case announced Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control is the first Ebola case diagnosed in the United States.

Officials at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital say the unidentified patient is being kept in isolation. Presbyterian Hospital officials say they're following CDC recommendations to keep doctors, staff and patients safe

Not quite. Youre not instantly contagious. There is an incubation period of up to a week or two where you are asymptomatic and not contagious.

You could get a blood transfusion from an infected person and go straight home and still not infect your family for days.

Ebola is no joke. But the idea that this will now spread at exponential rates in the us is nonsense. It doesn't even do that in Africa.

This is bad news for sure but it ain't to time................yet.

This is the epidemiological equivalent of "Would YOU want to be shot by one?" and just as stupid.  OF COURSE no one wants to go rub up on an ebola patient, but that has absolutely zero to do with the how contagious the disease is.

Not according to CDC.  They say that the only way it's transmitted is through body fluids, not airborne.
