So you say this with a straight face:
1. African guy with an accent shows up at some Dallas hospital....throwing up in turbo fashion...fever...and he just gets some marginal medication and sent back home without asking about his recent travels.
2. You announce that you are checking folks coming into the US with a temperature device....which will tell you in an effective way if they have Ebola or not.
I would agree...there’s no real common sense here. Sending US military off to Africa on a mission without an end-date (likely to continue for decades). I don’t see how you allow anyone arriving from outside of the US to enter....without an Ebola test administered and likely forcing everyone to remain in some Airport quarantine area for twenty-four hours as a minimum.

It’s even more ridiculous. He tells them he just came from Liberia. This raised no alarms. Then they gave him antibiotics. Antibiotics combat bacteria but do nothing for viruses ( http://www.cdc.gov/GetSmart/antibiotic-use/antibiotic-resistance-faqs.html/#why-bacteria-resist ). They completely missed that he had a viral infection.
FREE for the price of a plane ticket.
There are 4.29 million people living in Liberia and another 6.09 million people living in Sierra Leone... What are the odds 50 more people from either of these countries will figure out it's better to get FREE medical care in the United States than to stay in some African hellhole??
