I think all air travel should be shut down for at least 21 days - if that is really the period during which anyone who is going to get it comes down with it.
Just seems to me it’s insanity to allow even the slightest possibility that people who are affected are traveling on airplanes - and for all we know they’re contagious before they start showing a temperature.
Air travel was shut down after 911 - it wasn’t the end of the world. The US survived. If we’re going to prevent massive ebola deaths then it seems we need drastic action.
Anyone who gets into a titanium test tube now needs to be mentally evaluated IMO.
If anyone thinks todays 400 intraday dow drop was spectacular, if the government institutes an air travel ban, that 400 point drop will be amplified by a ten factor.
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.
21 days just about brings us right up to the election. No way Obama allows something as drastic as a three week long air travel shutdown to be fresh in people’s minds as they go into the voting booths.
