They can run

Something else that was just brought up, in two weeks you will have thousands of people pouring into New York area for the running of the marathon, right?




Don't a LOT of runners AND their assistants come from all areas of Africa?


Just asking?

around in circles in a detention ward. Honestly, though, there are a lot of Africans who train near my home (and a lot of Chinese) due to the altitude.

The visa angle is good. I was just saying that there aren't a whole bunch of direct flights from Liberia and Sierra Leone to JFK, I would imagine. So all the people saying "stop the flights!" might really want to look at visas instead.

Honestly, I don't even know if there are any direct flights, someone brought that up a day or so ago.


BUT, if the way our citizens that have been in contact are being handled is any indication, I think there may be much larger problems than who gets in or out.


Because so far, the CDC, hasn't given me much confidence.

Money doesn't give you common sense.

This is an interesting analysis - flight bans help short term

But delays the inevitable

But it sure makes your jokes funnier

Ever notice how rich people get the big laughs?

So the argument is that not restricting travel

makes those who travel easier to trace. I suppose there is also the fact that by closing the borders of Sierra Leone you essentially create a pressure cooker of ebola that will have people there desperate to get out by any means.

It's also interesting that 30,000 people a year die of the flu. Lower mortality rate, to be sure, but it isn't something people are panicking about. And don't get me started on gun deaths...

If this was happening in Nebraska, would we close the interstates?

I'm in the medical field and received my 4 hour Ebola training yesterday...not impressed.
