Trust me, it's safe! Obama SHAKES HANDS and shares stage with 'hero' healthcare workers still in 21-day Ebola risk period after Africa visit

    Doctors and nurses, including some who could be incubating the disease, appeared in East Room photo-op with the president
    President shook hands with one medic in a white coat at White House reception where he hailed work of medics
    'We will contain and eventually snuff out this outbreak,' the president pledged
    'We don't run and hide when there is a problem ... ‎'We can't hermetically seal ourselves off'
    Obama 'a little frustrated' by 'people talking about American leadership' but then 'running in the opposite direction and hiding under the covers'
    Ronald Klain, the White house 'Ebola czar,' was in attendance but continued his streak of days on the job without making public comment

President Barack Obama made a pointed hand-shake with a medical worker at the White House today as he hailed the work of Ebola-exposed health care workers.

Obama thanked the 'hero' doctors and nurses for their work in West Africa and insisted that they must be treated with dignity and respect. He conceded, though that Americans will 'likely see more cases' of the disease, which kills more than half of those diagnosed.

A series of controversies have erupted, most visibly in New Jersey, surrounding the difficult question of whether Americans who work with Ebola patients overseas should be forcibly quarantined upon their return.

Obama said he was 'a little frustrated' by 'people talking about American leadership' but then 'running in the opposite direction and hiding under the covers' when Ebola emerges.

Quarantines for Ebola typically last 21 days, the length of the disease's incubation period. Some of Obama's guests were still within that time-frame, meaning that they could possibly be harboring the virus without yet showing any outward symptoms.

No doubt after they passed a dozen blood tests.  He probably wore some kind of invisible glove as well.
