"Helping" in Africa

So...do random people just pack up and go to Africa and "help fight Ebola," and then just randomly return to their home countries and then "self"monitor" their temperatures and go bowling and take bike rides and have sex with hang out with their slightly nervous looking significant others and then go to their local emergency room if their temperature goes up or they start puking in public?
Is there any coordination with this?
Does this actually help the "fight against Ebola?"
OR is this just more white guilt and our European missionary complex and liberal's unconscious racism?
I found the red headed nurse somewhat condescending. We can't save Africa if we have to wait another two weeks before going bowling?
Also, going into hiding is in what way so much better than quarantine?
Just wondering about random things today...

    1. She has a cause. She certainly has her self respect. I thought her boyfriend looked a bit nervous.

  2. Personally, I think that if someone wants to travel here from Africa after a humanitarian mission, a couple of weeks isolation to protect their fellow Americans is not too much to ask. Charity begins at home. It doesn't end when you get back.

    1. Yes, our goats did get out. They followed the neighbor children home. Goats are not so stupid. They got quite excited when they saw our pickup. They were actually happy to get home. That is so weird. It is almost like they have rudimentary thinking skills.
