Perhaps images of Ebola-infected kids in Dallas dead or dying? The families won’t stay quiet.

This is ridiculous. Although downplaying the risk might seem to be PC or a way to cover incompetence in the short run, eventually we will see if an outbreak occurs in the next weeks and months. If there is any significant effect on the physical or economic health of the country, there will be Hell to pay. Not stopping persons from hot zones from entering the US is insane at this point.

I can only conclude that the spirit of evil has infected 0bama and his ilk, and they want Americans to die. Take Bill Gates at his word regarding population control, judge the abortion advocates by their actions. Pure evil is the only explanation.

Let us never forget what a Nazi soldier said to a Jew as she boarded a cattle car headed for a death camp. The woman asked the soldier if the rumors were true about the camps. The soldier responded that of course they were untrue, we are not barbarians, we are a civilized people.

The fact that we are still letting flights from Liberia enter the country is totally insane. Laura Ingraham is right.

They can’t say there isn’t a precedent. Obama temporarily suspended flights to Israel because of rocket attacks by Hamas.

We need to cut the flow of potential Ebola infected people into the US now. It seems to me, that the WH's and CDC's confidence in our HC system in this case suffers from a few flawed assumptions. One of them is that it can handle and isolate a few cases. That may be, but it is a rather simplistic scenario - i.e., that all other factors remain that same.

But, what if, though, you combine a minor Ebola outbreak (e.g., A recent Liberian traveler visiting LA or San Francisco) with a major natural disaster, e.g., perhaps a major earthquake with great numbers of injured and dead, and damage to local or regional infrastructure. Seems to me the system would be overwhelmed, and a wider outbreak a greater threat. I don't know...I am not a doctor. Can the "system" in a metropolitan area handle and isolate hundreds of actually infected people? Seems to me, there must a point where even our system become overwhelmed.

It’s a problem, and we should definitely ban the flights. But I’m wondering why the EU hasn’t banned these flights, there are multiple more flights going from Africa to Europe than those coming into the US. The ebola case we have in Dallas changed planes in Brussels, I wonder how many people on that flight just got off in Brussels and went into Europe. 100, 200?

Let the Law Suits for Criminal Negligence begin. Then watch the airlines wake up.

Ebola hysteria doesn’t build resistance to it.

This is all such bull crap. Whether or not the traveler is exhibiting symptoms on the flight, he could have been infected in one of these areas and become symptomatic and contagious up to 21 days after the flight.

Sure, it’s a little loony to be putting such passengers on commercial flights anyway, but it is ingenuous and insane to claim that flying such people into the US doesn’t present a grave and massive risk.

Because it wouldn’t help. They’ll fly somewhere else first then come here, or at least potentially infect people coming here. It’s a big world with lots of ways of getting from point A to point B.

“Why hasn’t the U.S. closed its airports to travelers from Ebola-ravaged countries?”

Given Prez Obola’s open borders policy, what’s the point?
