The spokesman for the U.N. secretary-general says the United Nations believes air travel to and from the West African countries affected by the Ebola virus should continue despite the first reported case in the United States.

Stephane Dujarric told reporters Thursday that "it's very important not to isolate these countries" as it would worsen their political and economic situations. He says aid groups need access to the region.

Sent those airlines (incubation tubes) all over the world. We are a global society and cannot discriminate.

I think the U.N. should start a commercial airline company that has regular flights to all countries in the globe. One stipulation would be no flights would be allowed to fly into or out of the United States ( that’s all 57 States)

I’m good with it, as long as all passengers are quarantined for three weeks upon arrival. In the UN building.

All West African flights should be routed through LaGuardia Airport (New York, NY 11371); and all flights should include a mandatory three hour tour of the United Nations Campus to familiarize travelers with the New World Order.

We should ban air travel but allow ships. Ships would give a doctor time to find infected people.

People from these countries are now prevented from the hajj. Also, I believe certain countries, like Canada, are preventing flights from these countries.

Didn’t know that. It would be a great idea for all people from those countries to pass through mecca for a few weeks.

"it's very important not to isolate these countries"

A new variation on 'spreading the wealth' now it's 'spreading the disease'

They want the US to pick up the tab for developing a cure. The sad thing is, Barack Obola has destroyed the US medical system that would have/could have done so. No company is going to invest billions looking for a cure that would be taken from them and given away for free — it would be corporate suicide.

The UN is also saying that untested drugs can be used against ebola. That’s it’s ethical.
