Stopping flights would work. Some would persist in coming here taking curcuitou routes and changing paperwork It would slow them down forcing them to spend at least some portion of the 21 or 42 days enroute. We don’t have to “keep them out” we only have to increase the amount of time it takes to get here.
There are no flights from affected countries to the U.S. Getting from there to here already requires “circuitous routes.”
Direct flights from the affected region are almost zero. From South Africa, there are a number of flights each week. From the affected zone, you typically fly int Frankfurt, Madrid, Rome, London, Paris or Amsterdam.
I do agree....it wouldn’t take much to say that a guy who lands in Europe....must spend seventy-two hours there before getting on nexta flight. The Europeans wouldn’t like it at all...forcing a guy to get a visa would cost some and involve risk assessment (long before Ebola ever came along). It’d put the fever episode to a test.
