I do have concerns that the handling of all hazardous materials be done properly.
Please note that my understanding of proper handling is not based on popular movies or other works of entertainment, however. I've spent some time crawling about in contaminated reactor equipment, where there are similar handling and containment concerns.
I do not currently have any reason to believe that either Phoenix Air and their use of an aeromedical Biological Containment System, or Emory University Hospital and their specialized high-containment facility are mishandling or are likely to mishandle the patient, samples, or potentially contaminated materials.
The newspapers are referring to an 'isolation' unit. As I recall this one is a Biosafety Level 3 facility, for what that's worth.
I do not believe any Ebola samples are currently stored in lunchroom refrigerators, either at the CDC or Emory University Hospital. It's 'fun' to talk about, for varying degrees of 'fun', I suppose.
I do not believe there is a CDC conspiracy to cover up anything related to the disease.
I do not believe there is a hidden nuclear device or five story high 'core' filled with automated lasers within the hospital, so those fearing a scenario similar to the "Andromeda Strain" are not likely to see that.
Ebola has not been associated with outbreaks of the walking dead, zombieism, or Deadites.
It's one thing to not trust 'the government'. It's quite different to live in fear that someone, somewhere, just might make a mistake leading to eventual bad, bad stuff happening. We've been living in conditions where THAT could happen for several generations now. It's nothing new. Yes, someday, someone may screw up, bad things may happen, and the survivors may be really annoyed. I don't particularly plan my day around that event, though.
Every day, someone somewhere could make this a really bad day for the rest of us. One "Oopsie" at Hanford or Oak Ridge, one "butterfingers" at the State Research Centre of Virology and Biotechnology in Russia, one little slip at Mount Sinai School of Medicine on their 1918 H1N1 reconstruction and we could have a problem. Unless, you know, training kicks in and people remember where the bleach is.
Frankly, you take a bigger risk getting into your car. Daily deaths in US auto accidents rival the daily Ebola death rate, as do daily deaths from chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. Have another drink.
Time to get a grip on reality, folks.
