A ban on travel from West Africa might seem like a simple and smart response to the frightening Ebola outbreak there... But health experts are nearly unanimous in saying it's a bad idea that could backfire.

I'd like to know who those health experts are. I saw my family doctor Tuesday for a checkup. We started discussing this. His exact words were (referring to Obama and CDC Chief) "They are all morons." He was absolutely dumbfounded that they weren't issuing a travel ban for people coming into the US from West Africa.
No one expected the Spanish Inquisition.
And no one expects truth from the AP.
I’m not sure it’s not all part of the effort to collapse the system. Who’s willingly going to Dallas Presbyterian these days?
Bohner is in a Class A suit in the Congressional Cry Room.
“Actually it’s already law”
I happily stand corrected. Thanks for that!
I’m even more mystified by the GOP.
“Yesterday I noticed something interesting. The line of people at the bank making cash withdrawls was pretty long. “
Yesterday was Friday. There is ALWAYS a long line at the bank on Fridays because the customers just received their paychecks. The pay checks must be cashed.
Once you realize these are the same people that abstinence doesn’t stop pregnancy, it all makes sense.
It’s also the same argument of man made global warming.
Simply claim nearly all experts agree then anyone that doesn’t agree isn’t an expert or has ulterior motives for disagreeing and shouldn’t be taken seriously.
97 % of health experts agree that a travel ban will not work.
People who think a travel ban will work also believe in a flat Earth.
It is very simple people, whenever the Oligarchy agress on an opinion, you have to realize it is the wrong position. Just picture Pelosi and Newt on a couch.
Many of us ARE idiots
IS there anything stopping the airlines from imposing a travel ban ?
Any airline that takes this seriously will survive
Those who point to the government, who works FOR us, as an excuse for allowing this and for customers contracting this virus, on their airplanes, will not be solvent - and sooner than people think
When those in charge of protecting us won’t do their jobs, common sense and wisdom have to take over. All the lawyers in the country can’t fix the damage.
Who’s going into ms phans room with a brief case?
No
Hospitals and airlines had better stop protecting and serving the government
And if they DO rely on govt funding, they’re screwed.
1. A president can not engage in inaction. Everything he does is action, either by neglect or design.
2. Boehner (and the Republicans) are incurring the same blood guilt as Obama by their actions. Republicans don’t have to wait lemming-like for Boehner to call; they can coalesce in the House themselves. I’m sure Boehner will show up.
Yes,...Obama could order a legion of federal regulatory agencies to harass them into bankruptcy.
Nigeria has carried out a travel ban against infected countries, after having a brief outbreak itself. The result? Nigeria has been declared “Ebola-free” by the WHO, after 42 days with no sickness.
Oh yes, and their government also immediately launched a hygiene education campaign across the country. These are a smart people.
Boehner?
The only person actually working in congress is ted Cruz.
Everyone else except mike lee and a few congressmen are working for Obama. Anyone who allows one more hour of this insanity to go on and who isn’t also getting ready for the next onslaught will go down in history
And they’ll have their own families to answer to
Spineless weasels. I'm beginning to think GOP stands for Give Obama Protection
Or, an enterprising ambulance chaser shouls obtain the lists of affected passenger and prepare a massive frog strangleing law suit with several hundred defendants and the families they live with.
One such law suit will stop the flights.
Air lines are negligent, perhaps criminally negligent, for flying from Liberia. (or even Dallas)
Wha?
Do you know what the Spanish Inquisition was?
Idiocy
Oh boy
They’re going to be bankrupt anyway
Holiday travel alone will do it
Corporations are more senseless than are their customers
You think govt thinks we’re stupid? Corporations do too... In a big way
This thanksgiving and Christmas travel will make a post 911 no fly look like happy times
If they and congress as well don’t choose sides in this , they can forget it
