...... he was manifestly ill. He is said to have been in such physical distress that surveillance camera footage shows him at one point sprawling facedown in the airport waiting area.Sawyer vomited repeatedly during the two-stop flight and collapsed upon arriving at the Lagos airport. He was taken to First Consultant Hospital, where he reportedly told the medical staff that he had malaria.

So much for the assurances from the CDC and others that Ebola victims who are infectious are just too sick to travel, so no worries there.

Well, it actually sounds like he WAS too sick to travel, but he travelled anyway.

You see, they can’t “advise” people not to travel, they must PREVENT them from travelling.

If I ran a country in Africa I would have my borders sealed, even if I had to put every cop and soldier in the country on border detail, and I would not permit any flights from the affected region to land.

This has to be done, what are they waiting for?

Old school says you really close borders (shoot those crossing), quarantine travelers, the infected and those caring for the infected. That means air travel is out and sea travel would have to be longer than the incubation period. but then that’s so 20th century.
