This is gonna surprise you, Dana, but not everyone in West Africa has ebola. And shutting down an entire nation is … well, it’s a very stupid idea. Not just unnecessary. Stupid.
While I normally don’t agree with you, TJ, I would say that I agree that putting a flight ban on them wouldn’t stop it. We would have to effectively halt all global traffic for 30 days to ensure the disease remained localized, and I really don’t see that happening (nor would I want to). People just need to be conscious of the disease and take appropriate steps to avoid spreading it.
Do we have no mega-hospital equipped for this?Walter Reed or Henry Mayo or something?Why Dallas where they are already bickering about how ill-prepared they were? Dallas?
