The only way to stop this is quarantine where it comes from. This is plain stupid.
Unless you're eating bats, baboons and grasscutters from Africa,or swapping bodily fluids with Ebola patients, and won't bother to take yourself to a hospital, it's of zero risk.
In fact, it might be better to clear out America of people like that.
Exactly. No one should be allowed to set foot on US land if they departed from Africa - by air or sea. They should be told to turn around or they will be shot. Besides, how do we know they’re not delivering “cargo” from ISIS and using the “sick man on board” story to dock?
The West Point slum was low hanging fruit since it could be isolated. But in the end the better approach was to go in there, find the infected people and quarantine each one of them.
Of course sending them here is a bad idea (for us) whether by boat or plane. But when they get here (not if), we will treat is like malaria and wipe it out before it spreads as we do routinely with malaria cases that make it here.
