Today’s R&D covers the arrival of Ebola to the United States.  It was announced yesterday that an unidentified man in Dallas, Texas has the Ebola virus, which he reportedly acquired after traveling to Liberia.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sought to play down public fears in a news conference yesterday, but some analysts are questioning whether budget cuts have made the nation ill-prepared to deal with a pandemic.  The recent Ebola has infected more than 6,500 people and killed more than 3,000 in West Africa this year.
