Ebola Policy Change?

According to U.S. considering quarantine for returning Ebola health workers: CDC (dated the evening of October 24, 2014):
The Obama administration is considering quarantining healthcare workers returning to the United States from the Ebola hot zone of West Africa...
There's also this (dated October 24, 2014, 7:01 P.M., EDT): Two U.S. states [New York and New Jersey] to quarantine health workers returning from Ebola zones.

Consider this: CDC Says NYC Ebola Doctor Cleared Enhanced Airport Screening.

Meanwhile, those with visas from the Ebola Hot Zone are still streaming in at the rate of some 4500 people a month. No federally-imposed quarantine for them?

    Did You Know Europe Is Hiding It's Own Ebola Crisis? If you were surprised to hear the news that a Sudanese United Nations worker died of the deadly Ebola virus in a Berlin hospital on Tuesday, you might be even more surprised to learn just how many Ebola patients there are elsewhere in Europe.
