If inbound quarantines of those who’ve had contact with Ebola in the West African nations won’t work, then why do we continue to track secondary contacts with U.S. citizens who’ve had contact with those arriving infected from West Africa and then quarantine those people? You know, if quarantines don’t work.
Wouldn’t it be far less expensive and far safer to quarantine far fewer people at the point of arrival before they contact hundreds or even thousands after the fact?
Perhaps only a dollars and sense(sic) approach will put it into perspective. While we can still count the number victims here, on two hands, how much has that cost?
