Well, maybe...I believe that preventing West Africans from leaving their countries of origin, in combination with some controlled air burst explosions would probably been the best way to control this epidemic...

This is NOT complicated, folks...
Cancel all visas from infected countries and ban entry to anyone with a passport stamp, within 42 days, from those countries.
DO IT NOW...

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Tom Frieden is the one who gave him that explanation.
"Friedie, you're doing a heck of a job."

So we must sacrifice what’s left of our economy by allowing people in to spread disease?

“Tens of thousands of Americans go on vacations to Africa, usually no-hunt safaris. Its a popular upper middle-class destination.”
Well, tens of thousands can stay there until this crud is over. Enjoy your stay!

Obama says we can “absorb” a nuclear first strike, so we know he’s willing to let a lot of Americans die for what he perceives as the “greater good”.
To: WillVoteForFood
Yes.
Porous borders.
Whose fault is that?

most of those safaris are across the continent in east africa. Don’t know what the disease situation is there.
To: lbryce
Better to kill off tens of thousands if not more U. S. Citizens then.
Good freaking grief!

It actually makes quarantining MORE difficult and could actually cause the disease to spread faster. Please explain how this could be so. This concept is frightfully counter-intuitive.

Frieden is evasive and dancing around the questions
He will fall on his sword

Denying 150 people each day from Africa access to the USA effects the economy of Africa?? I don’t think so.
To: jjotto
I would think most people won’t be going anywhere near west africa including east africa. But there is a difference between countries.
