“Earnest argued that because people carrying Ebola don’t have symptoms when they get on planes, there isn’t a need to limit travel.”
WTF? Is this guy insane? Wouldn’t this fact argue greatly in FAVOR of limiting travel? I mean if you can’t tell the infected by inspection then don’t you put a ban on all such travel as the onlyalternativenitive? How in the world could someone say something this stupid and not get called on it?
It wasn’t a “reason”, it was an excuse.
Their “PC morality” is such that they WANT America to be “equalized” with Liberia, out of fairness.
But, the war with common sense is such that they have to try to provide excuses.
There is an up to 21-day incubation period. So it is entirely likely for an infected person to show no symptoms and not be caught by airport screening.
