Not all that many considering Liberia has 4.1 million people and of those 2,210 have Ebola. That’s .00054% of their population and maybe 2% of the population has the cash to hop a plane to America.

No, I asked how many. Skip the slick talk.

The CDC says 150 per day from all the Ebola stricken nations.

There may be more, but from what I have read about Ebola is that it is primarily striking a class of people that could not afford such travel and once someone is symptomatic and thus contagious, it would be obvious to others.

I’m not saying that no more will get in, but that the chances that any one person flying in from Liberia with Ebola is very low.

I do think that people flying in from those regions should be monitored.

However, at this very moment, there are a hundred jumbo jets inbound from China, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, India, etc and many of those people have the flu and they will transmit the flu to Americans and some will die.
