[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely. I don't know why we haven't done this already. At least stop the flights.[/quote]

Because the U.S. Travel Association alone has given nearly half a million dollars to political candidates this cycle to ensure things like travel bans don't happen. That's before you look at the political spending of related associations, unions, and corporations.

Follow the money.[/quote]

A few more cases of Ebola in the USA and knowing any or all had been on planes will hurt the airlines far more than suspending commercial flights for anyone who had been in the affected West African countries.  From the gate at Dulles on the Brussels from Liberia to what domestic flight?  Perhaps a Washington Flyer cab to a local spot?

Lufthansa/Belgium/United codeshare still flies into Liberia.  Now who should fly in and out?  I hope the military is building a quarantine station for departing aid workers.  Due to limited flights social and personal travelers like Duncan [more potential lying about exposure etc] should not be allowed to fly.[/quote]
