JUST deny them flight to the US.

Put the burden of detection and quarantine, etc ., at the EMBARKATION point!

How fu*^ing simple can it be?

Option 1: Deny their visa or entry to the U.S. if their point of origination is one of the countries overwhelmed by ebola. Risk of infection to other travelers, or our citizens? 0.01%

Option 2: Allow them to travel here; take their temperature upon arrival; use the honor system for these travelers to self-report possible exposure; then release them into the general population, while our oh-so-effective and oh-so-efficient government “monitors” them for 21 days. Risk of infection to other travelers, or our citizens? MUCH > 0.01%, but risk increases exponentially with the number of (potentially) infected travelers arriving here.

So option 1 is cheap, and virtually 100% effective. Option 2 will be ridiculously expensive to implement, doesn’t keep the virus from entering the U.S., and only needs to fail in once instance for a wide-spread problem to occur.

Obola hasn’t let us down again - given stark, easy choices, he makes the wrong one yet again.

It’s almost as if he is bound and determined to allow this disease to establish itself in America.

No kidding, the magnitude of doing it here is unmanageable and would cost us billions, this would take massive housing resources and expensive, pension laden manpower.

The first three weeks of your American vacation is on the house, paid for entirely by the taxpayers?

And what treatment do you receive while being housed by us medical, dental, special diet, insulin medicine, diapers and laundry service?
