A Republican lawmaker claims the real reason the Obama administration is opposing a travel ban for Ebola-stricken African countries is that U.S. officials are concerned about hurting their economies -- a dollars-and-cents reason, the lawmaker says, doesn't make much sense.
Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Pa., whose House subcommittee held a high-profile hearing Thursday on the Ebola virus, told Fox News that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Tom Frieden is the one who gave him that explanation.

Well, maybe...I believe that preventing West Africans from leaving their countries of origin, in combination with some controlled air burst explosions would probably been the best way to control this epidemic...
Frieden is in a hearing on cspan right now explaining why a travel ban would be bad
This is NOT complicated, folks...
Cancel all visas from infected countries and ban entry to anyone with a passport stamp, within 42 days, from those countries.
DO IT NOW...
No safari in Sierra Leone or Liberia
But they AREN’T worried that people will DIE because of their political correctness?

Ok, ok, ok...You’re onto us...what was excuse 338? That’s it...it would be racisssss to close our border...
So we must sacrifice what’s left of our economy by allowing people in to spread disease?
Got it
“Tens of thousands of Americans go on vacations to Africa, usually no-hunt ‘safaris’. It’s a popular upper middle-class destination.”
Well, tens of thousands can stay there until this crud is over. Enjoy your stay!
Obama says we can “absorb” a nuclear first strike, so we know he’s willing to let a lot of Americans die for what he perceives as the “greater good”.
Yes.
Porous borders.
Whose fault is that?
most of those safaris are across the continent in east africa. Don’t know what the disease situation is there.
Better to kill off tens of thousands if not more U. S. Citizens then.
Good freaking grief!
Please explain how this could be so. This concept is frightfully counter-intuitive.
Here's the post I responded to:
Gee whiz, off hand, I can’t think of anyone I know who is planning to take a vacation in East Africa these days! Do you? Does anyone?
Frieden is evasive and dancing around the questions
He will fall on his sword
Pham is going to receive state of the art care at the clinical studies unit in MD(guinea pig?)
Denying 150 people each day from Africa access to the USA effects the economy of Africa?? I don’t think so.
I would think most people won’t be going anywhere near west africa including east africa. But there is a difference between countries.
