Well, there are other criteria than just science which should be considered. Two of them are the general categories of financial and political concerns.
In the US each patient with full blown Ebola virus disease has cost in the vicinity of $500,000 to $750,000 (perhaps more) to treat and to dispose of the contaminated objects and waste associated with them. How much does it cost to quarantine any medical personnel returning from the Ebola epidemic area? Maybe $25,000 to $50,000 tops. Which makes more financial sense?
We've got an election coming up in less than 21 days. Is Obama ad-Dajjal against the quarantine due to political considerations (i.e., in that the actions of he and his minions make them look like idiots, possibly inducing many voters to throw Democrats out of office), or does he really think that letting possible carriers of Ebola virus disease roam freely is the "right thing to do"?
By the way, it looks like there's another case in New York, who passed the airport screening and who was not quarantined:

Folks, they're only coming in onesie-twosie so far. We better get our ducks in a row before the deluge hits or we won't be able to cope.
