Travel ban would be politically popular, and counter productive. Lots of people who rail against political expediency vs doing the right thing are upset that the travel ban is not being enacted. What do you make of it?
Here are two..
If you impose a travel ban someone with Ebola would just go to a neighboring country before heading to the US. We wouldn't be able to track them and people they come in contact with.
The US enacts a ban. Europe would be forced to follow suit since the US is considered a work leader in air travel. Soon other countries join in and would have serious worldwide economic impact.

Its only 3 people. A little too soon for panic. I would be far more concerned for nurses not having the proper equipment to treat the known cases. That Texas hospital still doesn't have the correct suits this far into it.
You can't even make this stuff up anymore.
"Do you have absolutely any medical credentials?"
"No sir, none whatsoever!"
"Great! You are the new Ebola Czar!"
Also, charges should be pressed on the nurse that flew full well knowing that she had the virus. Absolutely ridiculous.
We need to do everything for this person who is fighting for his life. We know how to stop #Ebola & we will stop it here.

What if Ebola spreads to India or China, or Europe, you going to shut down all global air travel? Should we close all of Texas airports too?
Does the manager of a company need to be an engineer?
One does not need to be an expert in the field, to be a manager of experts in the field. Do they?
Ebola may be part of God's judgment for President Barack Obama's alleged attempts to "divide Jerusalem," said John Hagee, a San Antonio-based pastor and founder of Christians United For Israel.
Citing the Book of Joel, the televangelist took to Tuesday's broadcast of the "Hagee Hotline" to tell listeners that "our president is dead set on dividing Jerusalem. God is watching and he will bring America into judgment,"

No, but then one does have to be an expert in the field of managing experts.... this guy is not an expert in anything but being a political hack. He brings nothing useful, unless you consider the ability to apply political spin and "control the message" to manage political damage for the left wing as "useful". Lets see if the media takes obummer to task for putting someone completely unqualified in an important position.... oh , lol, I can't even type it with a straight face, the media won't hold obummer accountable for anything, including this.
If he says obummer one more time..... just one more time.... I will not be held responsible for my response.... just saying....
What's wrong with obummer?
There has been progress. This gentlemen has found the cause for Ebola.
I think we need a no-travel policy everywhere in the USA.

It's coming sooner than you think.
Why press charges when she called the CDC multiple times and they told her to go because she was minimal risk?
Citation for actual proof of calling the CDC and them actually telling her to get on a public transit flight? Really? You're going to believe what comes from a horse's mouth?
http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/he...-handling-ebola-repubs-demand-ban-on-flights/Frieden, whose resignation has been called for by several lawmakers, admitted in his testimony that the nurse should not have traveled, although it was a CDC official who gave her the OK to take the flight, given that her fever was under the threshold set by the CDC and she had no other symptoms.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Thursday that the decision to allow Vinson to travel was "a mistake" that should not have occurred, but the risk of infection for the other passengers was "rather low."
I agree about the nurses, but I doubt that shutting down non-essential air travel with Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone will have much economic impact worldwide. Their major trading partners already have cut off non-essential travel.Here are two..

In this analogy, Obama is the manager of the company, and he's hired his slow-witted cousin to run the engineering department. There is zero value in appointing someone with absolutely no experience and expertise he cannot possibly understand.Does the manager of a company need to be an engineer?

In spite of quoting him you completely missed his point - that every part of the first world except the USA already has the system you say we must adopt and yet has done utterly nothing to provide a cure or a vaccination for Ebolla.
isn't a call for by the Professor, who's a lead in a country's response to ebola, for all countries to adopted single payer health care systems.LMAO, fuck that guy.
However, Professor Hill said that the fact that a vaccine had not been available to stop the disease when it emerged in Guinea six months ago represented a "market failure" of the commercial system of vaccine production which is dominated by the pharmaceutical giants.
$25 million is a bucket for an industry in which the largest players are collectively raking in billions in net profits (not revenue.... profits). Mapp is a smaller company whose work on Ebola isn't so profitable hence the appropriation by the U.S. government.Already, the experimental drug ZMapp, developed by Mapp, a small biopharmaceutical firm in the US, has been used to treat at least seven patients – four of them Westerners – and has shown promising results in trials on primates. Stocks have now run out, but Mapp has been handed $25m (£15m) by the US government to scale up production.
Professor Hill explained that the GSK/NIH vaccine, which is based on a strain of chimpanzee cold virus and known as ChAd3, was originally developed in the US for potential use against a bio-terror attack – and only existed because of high levels of funding allocated to vaccines designated for defence.
Asked why a fully tested and licensed vaccine had not been developed, Professor Hill said: "Well, who makes vaccines? Today, commercial vaccine supply is monopolised by four or five mega- companies – GSK, Sanofi, Merck, Pfizer – some of the biggest companies in the world.
"The problem with that is, even if you've got a way of making a vaccine, unless there's a big market, it's not worth the while of a mega-company …. There was no business case to make an Ebola vaccine for the people who needed it most: first because of the nature of the outbreak; second, the number of people likely to be affected was, until now, thought to be very small; and third, the fact that the people affected are in some of the poorest countries in the world and can't afford to pay for a new vaccine. It's a market failure."
Though Ebola was first discovered nearly four decades ago, there’s still no vaccine that’s regularly administered to humans to prevent it.
But why?
“There’s always the layperson’s query of ‘Why don’t they rush this?’ ‘Why don’t these guys work a little later at night?’” said Dr. Willian Schaffner, chair of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. “It’s a little more complicated than that.”
Because Ebola cases are so rare, drug manufacturers hadn’t been interested in investing in finding its vaccine, Schaffner said. In addition, Ebola’s rarity makes it impossible for scientists to do field studies, which they were able to do with viruses like measles, which people were likely to be exposed to anyway because it was so common.
So....You're right, I can't be bothered, because you're a fucking buffoon.
