Close the Border you traitors - before you get us killed

Actually "Ebola region" is defined as the three countries that have a large prevalent outbreak of Ebola without adequate public health facilities handle the issue. I will note that there are other African countries which have Ebola cases which are not on the travel ban list because they have the situation under control from a public health perspective.

 

It takes only one.

 

just moron leftist argumentation.

to paraphrase AAA eliminating 98% of the risk is better than eliminating none of it?

besides this is not even a debate anymore...
CDC guidelines says that people exposed to ebola should not be flying.

 

Any policy that came out of a Democratic Whitehouse, you would agree with and defend, regardless of the logicality of it. That's why you, Ricter, FutureCurrents etc have zero credibility.

 

What I find very troubling is the way the CDC has consistently sought to trivialize the risk. This is in direct contrast to their approach to other issues, eg guns, tobacco, etc, where they are alarmist and shrill.

At every stage, CDC has tried to get by with the very least restrictive approach, rather than erring on the side of protecting us. Even now, the only reason they are imposing these travel bans is that the public is in an uproar and besides, it only affects us, not africa. They still are doggedly maintaining that we have to allow travel to the affected areas in africa.

Their reasoning, or at least Dr. Frieden's reasoning, does not stand up to elementary analysis. He maintained to Megyn Kelly that you have to allow unrestricted travel because, and I am not making this up, that the best way to treat it is to eliminate it in the affected areas, and to do that, we have to be able to get people and resources there. When Kelly asked the obvious follow up question--"Why can't we use charter or military flights for that?"--he was stumped and could only mutter something about they were inconvenient. They may be a bit inconvenient but they give us a way to monitor who is going where and to control who comes in and leaves. Which according to Epidemiology 101 is also pretty important.

 

It has nothing to do with credibility. It's simple math.

Though perhaps not simple enough . . .

 

And you would disagree and attack it. The conclusion is the same.

 

so ricter and dbola support the idea of allowing people to fly over here from ebola areas with a quarantine?

yes or no.

 

It's not a question of support or not support. It's unavoidable.

 

It doesn't have to be unavoidable. But it would take decisive leadership and balls.
Neither of which exist in DC let alone the White House.

Edit: Rumor has it Michelle might have balls.
