Our constant USA #1 patriotism is coming back to bite us, that's what.

Jesus.
I'm the one who lives near Reston hospital, and I am worried because my dd's have asthma. My 8 year old has been sick with a virus for 2 weeks, and has spent the last 3 nights coughing. If I have to take her to the hospital for breathing difficulties, I would normally take her to Reston. If a passenger with ebola flies into Dulles, then there we would be. Right in an ebola hospital. I call that a reason for concern. If you don't think so, you are deluding yourself.
They need somewhere to treat people close to the airport. Every hospital is going to be inconvenient to some of its neighbors. If you are worried, pick a back up hospital.
Not the PP, but the closest hospital is imperative for an asthmatic who is having breathing issues --including bad coughing. If I cough more than 2 times in a row, I know I am at risk for an attack. If I have an attack, I'd been in trouble to travel more than. 10 min to an ER.

I don’t have a lot of faith in these petitions. While I did sign it, I think it is Obama’s way of saying his administration is “transparent.” It took the WH several months to respond to the petition on the Marine jailed in Mexico. And, the response was weak - just standard stuff. Lots of platitudes.
One thing I will say - yesterday this petition had only a couple thousand signatures so it is evident there are a lot of people interested in seeing bans.
They said there's no direct flights here from the affected countries in Africa. The people first have to fly through Europe. Now I can see why they haven't done this...it sounds like a monumental, if not impossible task.

I think you meant to say "within the last 21 days". It would seem impossible unlikely for someone to come from W. African, commit a crime and end up in jail all in under 24 hours.
