Exactly! Why let these people on a plane to the US?
As someone indicated, the horse is already out of the barn by then!
So they carefully quarantine the IDed traveller - but then he has exposed a hundred people to the virus! Great! They get to leave and poison everyone else!
You are right - a ship would be great, but still preferably at the OTHER shores, not ours - how are they going to transport people to these ships?
Then there’s this:
Another doctor who treated Ebola came through JFK
A physician who treated dying Ebola patients in Liberia flew in to JFK on Thursday night — and stayed at an airport hotel, a source told The Post.
Colin Bucks, a clinical assistant professor at Stanford University’s medical school, arrived on a Royal Moroccan Air flight and is currently asymptomatic, sources said.
He went to the Hilton Garden Inn in Jamaica, Queens, near the airport. Centers for Disease Control workers “also stay there,” said a source.
On Friday, he was cleared to travel home to Northern California, where he will “be monitored by CDC there,” according to the source.
“He is asymptomatic and he’s being allowed to leave the hotel and fly home,” a source added.
Sources said that Bucks, works with International Medical Corps, was told to self-quarantine at the hotel, but he told The Post he merely missed a connecting flight. He said he was screened at the airport in Africa and again upon arrival at Kennedy airport.
“If there had been a flight yesterday, I would’ve not spent the night here,” he said in a telephone interview.
His first flight was delayed, so he missed his connecting flight and had to stay at a hotel overnight, he said.
