Are you going to shut down the highways, buses and trains too?
Seriously? Just shoot the economy in the head and be done with it.

The correct answer here is a travel ban on West Africa AND increased control at the border.

No, can’t shut own highways...but it’s a lot harder to infect multitudes from a car and the number of people who will take a bus are limited and seems to me a train has a limited area compared to a plane.

As for the economy - if we have massive ebola infections a lot more than the economy will take the hit.

Yes...BUT...since the CDC has no enforcement authority...somebody has to do it. We can blame, blame, blame...but the reality is - certain agencies have only certain abilities (enforcement-wise)...and if we aren't going to enhance the Federal government's enforcement rights (over states)..then the State has to get it's ass in GEAR.

It may be so mixed up that there is no answer...we may just have to get lucky.

That is needed, no doubt.

But now that the virus is here - thanks to that not happening in the first place, it needs to be contained as well.
