The CDC is not only trying to contain the spread, but contain public panic. Comments such as 0% chance of a domestic case are short sighted, yes, but also about panic control.
As far as Yugo....their own government sealed their country off. Some of these western African nations barely have a government, much less one capable of sealing their country.
