I sent an email to my congress critter yesterday suggesting that he get together with his buddies and try to restrict travel to/from hot zone. Everyone should let their rep/sen know how they feel.
They can travel to Liberia and other hot zones - just don’t let them come back.
Seems like a quarantine would have to be nearly three weeks to be fully successful. Let any travelers pay fully for such costs and commercial travel would be stopped immediately.
Just close the damn doors and stop the stuck on stupid cr**...Mr. Obama
They called ‘9/11’ a “failure of imagination”. Yeah, well for $1100 I’ve figured out exactly how to get the virus from Monrovia to Denver and have it widely disseminated - without necessarily contracting it, myself. So, if I can figure it out, then a motivated militant Islamist can as well - and execute it even more powerfully. We need to cut travel now.
The only answer is quarantine.
Those of you my age (65) remember when people with contagious diseases would be quarantined in their homes and a notice was posted on the door by the local Health Department. This is not rocket science:
1. Stop all flights/travel from Liberia and other countries that have Ebola outbreak
2. Alternatively anyone coming into the USA who has visited any of these areas is put into quarantine for 21 days
3. All direct contacts of patient zero immediately quarantined for 21 days. At home if they are compliant,otherwise at quarantine centers.
