Some of my friends while joking about the famed "ignorance of Americans" say that the person that was told he came from Liberia was not alarmed because, after all, it was West Africa that had Ebola.
There is absolutely no excuse. And definitely not the computers problem. Liberia should have raised a flag even if it was a janitor in a hospital that heard it
Anyway, Ebola can be easily contained if taken seriously. Nigeria (Lagos a city of 20 million and not much larger than the bay area to be precise) contained it in a couple of months and all the cases were from the index case. A Liberian too. Everyone should be on the alert and maintain good hygiene and avoid unnecessary body contact.
This is not an excuse to discriminate against Liberians and/or West Africans.
