“In political speak he did.”

Didn’t he just say it should be considered? Hardly a ‘demand’.

Thanks.

I don’t waste time on cornball. You could’t get that dope to give a yes, no straight answer if you put him up against the wall. He’s so oily he would just slide down it.

Kevin Brainless is our congress creep. You have to put a mirror up to Kevin’s face to see if he is still breathing.

It is an unworkable ban.

Ban entry for people with passports/visas from those countries and recent passport stamps from them. We're supposed to be checking passenger lists for terrorists before US bound flights take off; if we have enough info to do that we should be able to do this. Most of the Ebola patients won't be sophisticated enough to get around it. We may not succeed in blocking all of them, but we ought to be able to noticeably reduce the number of expensive, Cloward-Piven encouraging, false alarms we've been having and significantly reduce the real Ebola risk. If the Europeans don't want them stranded in their airports they could implement something similar for the flights leading there.

Twitter hashtag is #stoptheflights which is great for simplicity, but it is really stop issuing visas, and arrange a few charters for any Americans wishing to repatriate now. Then three months no one allowed to get on a plane to the USA from any airport with a recent stamp from sierra L, Liberia, or guinea.

In three months we re-examine to see where we are re ebola.

On matters of Science I could give two hoots what politicians say. If anyone is going to get us killed, it’s the Politicians. On this issue give me the science and give me facts.

Wait til there are 300 confirmed cases here... and there is a call to shut down domestic flights... at Thanksgiving. I still question why we are not hearing any updates regarding Duncan’s family/girlfriend... only the primary care nurses... in hospitals... with faceshields, gloves, gowns, and dustmasks seem to be contracting the virus?

Sure. Right. Whatever.

Now would be a good time to have a business doing certified destruction of hard drives for the CDC.

Why not? Simply ban all travelers who hold a passport from an ebola county and anyone who has traveled to or through those countries.

Thanks,TCP.

We need more folks to call their reps, either in DC or locally.

The events of the past two days show that the extreme incompetence, either by nature or by design, of Obama and the entire CDC will create huge problems and actually encourage the spread of Ebola to more Americans.

They need to feel the heat in DC.

Especially since all 435 Congress critters are up for re-election.

About time common sense prevailed.

-Obama administration insists travel routes must stay open so planes can return to Africa with aid workers and relief supplies

No they don't...one way tickets until it's safe to return.
