Agreed you have to stop the disease at its source & to do that most effectively you have to keep the spread of the disease contained ,failure to do so is a waste of money & more importantly lives.
The politicians are letting political correctness & ideology get in the way of seriously considered public health measures that will end the pandemic sooner rather than later.
The political class needs to realize that when you are dealing with a level 4 bio-hazard pathogen like Ebola people will die & all the hand wringing & PC indignation in the world will not change that fact.
Quarantine combined with medical care at the source of the pandemic on the other hand will stop this disease.
I don’t understand why we can’t do ALL THREE SIMULTANEOUSLY.
How does a travel and visa ban from West Africa affect fighting Ebola at the source?
It’s not as if we’re banning experts from GOING to West Africa, just preventing West Africans from coming here.
And the ban is TEMPORARY. No one is saying we’re going to ban them forever.
