... El Salvador launched a security protocol at airports, borders and ports and prepares to meet possible hospital acquired cases and 350 costumes for use biosecurity health personnel.
The health authorities have reiterated that all persons entering the country and originating from that area of Africa where there have been cases of Ebola, assigned the security protocol will be quarantined.
Representatives of Central America, Dominican Republic and the Pan American Health Organization began Friday a day of two days of meetings to discuss strategic combat diseases such as Chikungunya and Ebola.

Third world countries taking more precautions then we are.
Bio-hazard suits in short supply so they ordered halloween costume suits to fill the gap?
Yep, interesting that yet another country is taking these steps to take precautions our government won’t take.
To paraphrase Harry Reid, it is premature to think about a travel ban from those countries. So we won’t do anything.
I would love to ask Harry, is he waiting for a full blown epidemic before a travel ban is appropriate????

Maybe we should be following what El Salvador is doing, and Senegal did to be declared Ebola free by the WHO, instead of appointing a rat party hack lawyer to be our EbolaCzar:
This simply amazes me how lax we were about Ebola and yet third world countries like Senegal, the Phillippines, and El Salvador are stepping up their efforts to combat this disease whereas our people including the CDC seem to be doing a very bad imitation of a Benny Hill skit with everyone chasing each other in a circle.
A lot of these countries depend on tourist dollars, especially during the winter. They're not going to take any chances.

I’m impressed that they have the ability to enforce anything at their borders, unlike us. I suppose the enforcement is aimed toward those coming in, not those headed our way. The world must be amazed at the way America has been thrown under the bus by our alleged leaders.
There will be little left of tourism to Africa this winter with Islamc jihadis and Ebola rampaging.
Looks like everyone is smarter than The Smartest Guy in the Room Obama.
Uhm, were = are. ; )
Another too late measure. Screen after they have been on an airplane and exposed hundreds of others... idiots.
Please call congress and tell them that we must be deadly serious about containing Ebola by strict quarantine within the United States and from infected nations. This is our right and our duty and it is THEIR duty to protect US.
Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121 or Google your congressman or senator and get his contact information and call him / her office directly. You can also call or go to their local offices.
I believe decisive response is urgent because you cant put this Ebola genie back in the bottle once it gets out. It is a fire, it consumes all the fuel it can get and the fuel is people. The only way to stop a fire is to block it from the fuel or cool it with water. A vaccine or medicine to treat Ebola would be the water and we dont have reliable, enough or any.
Every possible measure must be taken to stop the spread before draconian measures are imposed. What is being done now is sloppy. We are walking a dangerous road. The threat is blossoming by the day if not hour. Almost every hour there is some new Ebola development and none of them are good. This is a serious and potentially deadly event. Unchecked it could destroy or weaken the United States and facilitate our destruction by others. It has that potential for every country and that is why so many are responding with such strict quarantines. These consequences, no matter how small the probabilities, demand a full effort and significant response.
Ebola is being spread here in the United States right now. First Texas, then Ohio then? Terror is an excellent weapon. It disrupts, confuses, paralyzes and destroys a society. Many others and we on FR have speculated that terrorists may spread Ebola. How do you that remember 9/11 feel right now compared to what you felt then? Do you want to gather your loved ones near you to protect them? I do. Even more than I did on September 11, 2001! Isnt this passive response by this administration accomplishing the very same things a terrorist would want?
When something is being done that makes as little sense as what Obama is doing there has to be some other reason. I leave it to you dear reader to draw your own conclusions as to the reasons.
What is happening now is insane. It makes no sense at all. For example the head of CDC says: Stopping travel from Africa wont do any good because you have to get people into Africa to fight Ebola. You cant get Ebola from an infected person on a bus but an infected person should never be on a bus because he can infect others. Blocking travel from infected countries would damage their fragile economies. What about ours? What about our safety? What about resources we have paid for that should be protecting us?
Even the most despotic dictatorship in Africa has acted to protect his nation by strict quarantine and stopping travel from infected countries. Even CDC, the UN and WHO advocate and credit strict quarantine for nipping the spread of Ebola in the bud at the source in places like Senegal and Nigeria where both have had faster and more successful outbreak controls than we have had here. 35 countries have stopped travel of people from infected West African countries. It is so obvious even a child could understand it so why is it OK for people from infected countries to travel here?
I will post this message and keep posting it until someone stops me.
