I think it's something to keep a watch on, but not worry too much about yet. We're being told by the CDC that we have the best infrastructure and medical professionals in the world; true but it's human error that worries me.

My husband dealt with biological contaminants, and safety for the Army; his concern is human error at the hospitals. On a scale of 1-10 for how concerned he is, he says he's at a 3.5 right now

If it does get bad here, it won't be like a movie where it quickly grows out of control. I believe we'll have plenty of time to think through our options. It started in West Africa December in December 2013, and has been apparently doubling every 21 days; that's apparently where these predictions of half a million cases in Africa by February are coming from. Exponential growth starts slowly and then explodes; if we get to a point where we have 1,000 cases in the US then we should worry; it will grow very fast after that.

I agree with Michael, .05% bleach solution is the best cleaning agent.
