I always thought USAMRIID had a facility with state of the art security and medical facility's Specifically for such incidents in case of lab accidents ect ? So it seems odd they would take them to Emory instead if there is a facility much better suited ?

"The Health Ministry said the symptoms appeared in the 40-year-old Saudi man at a hospital in the western city of Jiddah. He is in critical condition and being treated in a unit with advanced isolation and infection-control capabilities.
Health Ministry spokesman Dr. Khalid al-Marghalani told The Associated Press that the man arrived to Saudi Arabia from Sierra Leone on Sunday night. He said officials are looking into his flight details, including the passenger list, and what relatives or other people he may have been in direct contact with since landing in the kingdom."

I think its come time to close normal passenger flights in and out of west Africa.
Its starting to put airport and aircraft crews at risk now.

Emirates Airlines suspended flights to Guinea earlier this month and Pan-African airlines Arik and ASKY suspended flights to Liberia and Sierra Leone.
