Well folks, the U.S. is finally taking things more seriously about Ebola. New Jersey and New York have decided to quarantine anyone who "have had contact with victims of the deadly disease in West Africa." They will be quarantined for 21 days (the incubation time for the Ebola Virus) and depending on their circumstances, either receive house visits from medical personnel, or have been quarantined within a medical facility.
I think this was done primarily for the safety of the other citizens in the area, but also because of the backlash the media has been giving New York because of the way the initial case of Ebola here in the U.S. was handled. It seems a little extreme, but it may be necessary if they're going to keep everyone from getting sick.
