“For the record, “Cold Heat” is one of those who denies that keeping visitors from Ebola ravaged countries out of the USA will help matters.”

For the record......

That was not the opinion I was trying to express. It was the opinions of others who mischaracterized what I said that led to your conclusion.

What I said was that it was short sighted to ban flights.

I then expounded on that by showing those interested in that angle that the flights did not originate from any of the three infected countries, and that all you needed to do was to stop issuing visas to those from the area infected or the whole of Africa, if you desired to.

As a refutation to what I said about flight originations, someone posted some flight data showing a daily flight from what they represented as being Liberia. I countered that by showing that the flight originated in Ghana. Some distance from Liberia but that is not important. All you need to do is to control the Visas.

Lastly, in terms of immediacy, while passport and visa controls should be automatic and easily done, the hard thing that must be done is to contain the spread to West Africa.

The reasons are obvious to anyone with the ability to project forward the effects of a uncontrolled Ebola outbreak over time.

Not even going to use the word “If”.

WHEN the virus jumps to some central American crap hole, it will come into the US, Visa’s or no Visa’s and we will not be able to stop it. We have far too much border and coastline to protect. As cases mount in number, our medical facilities will be quickly overwhelmed.

So if it appears to you that I am WITH ANYONE on this, You can hold that thought for as long as you wish, because it’s no matter to me. My opinions are my own. My analysis’s based on no CDC or government recommendations.

So stick it......as they say...
