Especially if they keep a blind eye on these flights from Africa and continually let them land over here. If they will not stop the flights, then at the very least, we SHOULD be screening and quarantining all passengers that get off the plane from Africa once the plane lands on American soil. Test ALL passengers for Ebola. If none have it, hey, go on your merry way. If someone DOES have it, then every passenger needs to be IMMEDIATELY quarantined and monitored.
What is to stop someone flying from Africa to Europe, then catching a plane to the USA....
Do you then want everyone that lands in the USA screened?

I don't know when the last time you've traveled, but every country has passports which tells where they have been.
It's pretty simple with no screening involved, turn them back immediately.

The White House said Wednesday it will not impose travel restrictions or introduce new airport screenings to prevent additional cases of Ebola from entering the United States.
Spokesman Josh Earnest said that current anti-Ebola measures, which include screenings in West African airports and observation of passengers in the United States, will be sufficient to prevent the “wide spread” of the virus.
The chances of a U.S. epidemic are “incredibly low,” he said.

This is the same white house who told us it was incredibly unlikely it would get here in the first place.
What an absolutely stupid leadership we are under.

THE BIG QUESTION IS THIS: Why are we (America) continuously allowing plane flights to come in from Monrovia, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea where Ebola is running rampant? This current Ebola situation in America should be raising some red flags and we need to stop ALL flights coming here from these places where Ebola is present.
Talk about playing Russian Roulette.
IF NOTHING ELSE, you would THINK we would be quarantining and screening any flights from these areas to be sure and SAFE.
Are they TRYING to infect us?
STOP ALL FLIGHTS FROM AFRICA UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE! STOP BRINGING THIS DISEASE INTO THE UNITED STATES!!!!!
The latest Conspiracy Theory about this whole thing will be how Ebola is the new Bio-Weapon to depopulate America. With how things are going these days, that would not shock me.

Yep, exactly. I'd even take it a step further and prevent any landings from ALL foreign countries until further notice. Its time America started worrying about themselves, and not these other countries for a while.

Because stopping the flights would be great economical disaster. And Ebola has poor mechanism for spreading, you don't get it so easily from infected person. Its deadly disease, but in current form it cannot turn out pandemic. It isn't airborne, as its very fragile, but can spread with bodily fluids. But it isn't highly contagious, even when its aggressive.

Our modern global economy pretty much prevents the USA from doing this, we just don't make everything we need here.
