I can't say that I'm not a little concerned, but not going to lose any sleep over it. The virus is killed very easily. Antibacterial soap and warm water kills the virus.
I will also stock up on essentials so I can avoid public places if it does begin to spread.
In regards to stopping it from spreading, I don't think they would be able to. Air travel may be easy to check, but doesn't keep someone from hopping in their car or a greyhound bus, etc.

With a projected 10,000 additional cases per week in the hosting countries of this most deadly virus , it isn't something to shirk either. More people die each year from flu than terrorist attacks over here too, yet that analogy hasn't diminished concern on that front. The US isn't any more prepared to control this virus over here than we are controlling it in Africa. Not immediately shutting down flights from this infected region is plain irresponsible on the part of our current administration. Discussing this particular topic as it relates to US concerns without including our current administration's bureaucratic tactics attempting to downplay the urgency of this virus establishing itself in America is to not acknowledge reality.
