Friedan's unfortunate observation about Ebola patients

 Heard on the radio news update: Dr Thomas Friedan of the CDC makes a compelling case against restricting commercial air travel in and out of Ebola infected countries.
  First, we can't get medicine and out if we shut down commercial air travel because apparently the feds can't find any planes other than Delta, et al. to get people and medicine in and out.
  People would feel bad, like they had cooties or something.
  And the most unfortunate choice of words this week: Since people with Ebola symptoms would feel like they had cooties, banning flights in and out would drive Ebola patients underground.
