Ebola Travel Bans Enacted by Nearly 30 Countries, but Not US

Nearly every African nation has instituted travel bans on West African countries with significant Ebola outbreaks.

Though the Obama administration has insisted travel bans are not necessary, even countries outside of Africa are beginning to start such travel bans, with Colombia and the Caribbean island of St. Lucia on Wednesday adding their names to a growing list of nearly 30 countries that block travelers from virus-stricken Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea.

African nations including Kenya, Zambia, and South Africa make up the bulk of the countries that have instituted some kind of ban, and now that countries on the other side of the Atlantic have begun imposing restrictions, calls for the U.S. to follow suit have intensified.

Here is the complete list of nations with bans or significant travel restrictions:



Gambia


Nigeria


Togo


Gabon


Ivory Coast


Senegal


Rwanda


Chad


South Sudan


Namibia


Angola


Botswana


South Africa


Congo (DRC)


Lesotho


Equatorial Guinea


Kenya


Madagascar


Malawi


Mauritius


Mozambique


Swaziland


Tanzania


Zambia 


Zimbabwe


Cameroon


Gabon


Morocco

when you’re close to the problem the urgency of a solution increases.

Obama is so special.

Or when you are not paralyzed by political correctness.

Oh great.  So now we're a third fourth world nation.

Do those other countries have crypto-Muslim heads of state?

[tcrlaf]

To admit that securing the border would help to stop the spread of Ebola, that would DESTROY the Radical Academic Socialist Dems plans for Universal Amnesty, assuring a Dem National majority for at least the next generation.

It would put to the lie 25 YEARS of Dem BS about open borders.

That CANNOT be allowed to happen, no matter how many insignificant prols must die. The ZMAPP doses for Obama and his closest minions are already secured, so they couldn’t care less.

Obama is so special...

[JudyinCanada]

Clearly these are predominantly white, racist countries.

[Sacajaweau]

Obama is stuck on stupid. Can’t this guy make a “common sense” rational decision? Or is this about “black” again...

If we fail to implement a travel ban for Ebola infected countries, we will soon be added to the list of banned countries as it goes wild in the USA.

[Sgt_Schultze]

The Obola administration has told us that if the U.S. was to ban travel to and from stricken nations, we would actually encourage the spread of the disease. If that statement is true, and known to be true by everybody, we can only conclude that these 30 nations currently banning traffic want the virus to spread, and are taking deliberate measures to cause its spread.

[Gamecock]

Actually Swaziland has a fair number of white folks. No the majority, but maybe 30%?

I’ve been there. Loved it.

[Califreak]

I hope someday we can rid ourselves of all the evil orwellian aholes

[Elle Bee]

I wonder if they'll let US citizens IN?

So apparently the people with the most experience fighting Ebola are the nations most willing to restrict travel because of Ebola, while the arrogant “we know more than anyone” U.S. administration thinks it knows more than they do.

[Pollster1]

That’s 30 countries led by people who care about their citizens. I’m not surprised to see the United States missing from the list.

[Hugin]

What racists!

Oh, wait...
