Nearly every African nation has instituted travel bans on West African countries with significant Ebola outbreaks.

Though the Obama administration has insisted travel bans are not necessary, even countries outside of Africa are beginning to start such travel bans, with Colombia and the Caribbean island of St. Lucia on Wednesday adding their names to a growing list of nearly 30 countries that block travelers from virus-stricken Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea.

African nations including Kenya, Zambia, and South Africa make up the bulk of the countries that have instituted some kind of ban, and now that countries on the other side of the Atlantic have begun imposing restrictions, calls for the U.S. to follow suit have intensified.

Here is the complete list of nations with bans or significant travel restrictions:



Gambia


Nigeria


Togo


Gabon


Ivory Coast


Senegal


Rwanda


Chad


South Sudan


Namibia


Angola


Botswana


South Africa


Congo (DRC)


Lesotho


Equatorial Guinea


Kenya


Madagascar


Malawi


Mauritius


Mozambique


Swaziland


Tanzania


Zambia 


Zimbabwe


Cameroon


Gabon


Morocco

Because none of these countries have a president like Obama whose concern does not include the welfare of the nation he governs.

The leadership in the United States from the White House all the way down to City Hall and the Board of Education is staffed with morons or perhaps the criminally insane. Few other nations compare in that regard.

I wonder if they'll let US citizens IN?

Had a discussion about travel bans this morning. I pointed out that at least six cases of ebola have been reported in the USA (four that I know of that contracted it in Africa and returned for treatment, two who were infected by Duncan), it would be reasonable for other countries to restrict travel from the USA.

Our lack of control over our own borders and unwillingness to protect our own people from contagion could backfire on us bigtime...
