[quote=Anonymous]The only valid argument I've heard against it, is that officials in affected countries will stop reporting cases, fudge numbers, sweep under the rug, etc. and that the picture will become muddy and false.  Some people in public health argue that you want to encourage the affected countries to full disclosure and case reporting.

But I'm wondering: 
-cases are under reported anyway
-if we have our nationals in these countries helping, our country will get some kind of a live picture, that can't be censored
-Europe has to be a primary part in these restrictions, as most flights route through Europe, and anyways, if there are major outbreaks in Europe we are screwed, too
-handling travel of Americans to their relatives in affected countries; every day dozens of Americans return from visiting their relatives in West Africa, visa restrictions will not help here.
-more countries will have outbreaks - what should be the threshold of imposing travel restrictions (example: Spain)

More needs to be done than just tackling one aspect of it.
This is complicated, and will just get more complicated.
The temperature check is a good place to start, but it's just a start.
