Correct. Quarantine and treat NOW. Don't wait for the virus to have spread to all continents.
Who is supposed to be able to pay for the supportive treatment of the entire world population when eventually everyone has been infected?
Sure, the rich industrialized nations can, but what is the rest of the world population supposed to do? They won't be able to pay for the high tech medicine we are able to afford.
Thus, rich nations have the moral obligation to contain Ebola by all means, including quarantine for all by "isolating those who have had contact with Ebola patients or victims", and help treat those already infected.
