KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) -- The prime minister of the Caribbean island of St. Lucia has given an order to bar entry to anyone coming from three West African nations struggling with Ebola epidemics.
Prime Minister Kenny Anthony announced Wednesday that visitors from Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone may not enter St. Lucia until further notice.
Anthony says the travel ban is necessary because St. Lucia is a poor, small country that does not have the capacity "to manage any crisis that lands on our doorstep."

We’ve got a small window to buy citizenship and move there.
Small, because soon the US will be considered an infected nation, and also because—given market behavior—many of us will be less able to afford the purchase.

Its a sad day when the Prime Minister of a small island in the Caribbean has more common sense than the occupant of The White House.

How many countries will ban flights from America/Americans? What will 0bola say to that?

If ebola was centered in S. Korea or Australia, Baraq would shut down travel in a heartbeat.
Political correctness gives black Africa a free pass.
