CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden went on The Kelly File to discuss the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the US. Frieden argued that a US travel ban on the Ebola inflicted countries would cause the disease to spread.
Dr. Tom Frieden: “Above all do no harm. If we do things that make it harder to stop the epidemic there it’s going to spread to other parts of the continent…
Megyn Kelly: How’s it going to make it harder to stop?
Dr. Tom Frieden: Because you can’t get people in and out.
Megyn Kelly: Why can’t we have charter flights?
Dr. Tom Frieden: You know, charter flights don’t do the same thing commercial airlines do.
Megyn Kelly: What do you mean, they fly in and fly out?…
Dr. Tom Frieden: If we isolate these countries, what’s not going to happen is the disease staying there. It will spread more, all over Africa and we’ll be at higher risk.
That doesn’t make sense.

It is well known fact that if your quarantine prisoners in a jail, that the warden and guards won't be able to get inside the jail to control them. Supply trucks won't be able to bring in food.
It is true, though, that if you quarantine idiots in the halls of Congress, that not a damn thing will be able to get through to them.
Wow!
Yes, Jim, I completely agree with that assessment, and I appreciate your posting it to me as I intend to show it to some others.
We are ruled by madmen. Insane, lunatic madmen.
“Global justice”.
My God.
I also believe that the potential solution that you listed is the only possible one. it isn’t going to happen any other way very sadly.
This genie is out of the bottle as well. This has the potential to be a complete disaster.
Thank you very much for your response.
Per this post many third world countries have restricted travel, but not the US. Why not? Why not?
Believing the fuel gauge makes you run out of gas too!
Thanks for the ping!
