A Way To Stop Ebola Discovered!

Is Obama being just stupid? He is a rigid minded person that only moves off the dogma in his mind by the public getting on his case.

He has little independent wisdom, original thinking capacity, or just mother wit and logic. Obama is like a flimsy piece of paper in the wind he only gets blown from one thought to the next without EVER intuiting any profound thought. One the other hand when the obvious comes about such as to ban people from the Ebola smitten countries he seems to lose common sense.


Sometimes even the often hysterical Alex Jones is right

…and in this case I totally agree with him.

Jones points put that even African countries have wisely banned people from stricken countries from entering their land.
Ebola Travel Bans Enacted by Nearly 30 Countries, but Not US

Ebola Travel Bans Enacted by Nearly 30 Countries, but Not US

Nearly every African nation has instituted travel bans on West African countries with significant Ebola outbreaks. Though the Obama administration has insisted travel bans are not necessary, even countries outside of Africa are beginning to start restricting travel, with Colombia in South America and the Caribbean island nation of St. Lucia on Wednesday adding their names to a growing list of nearly 30 countries that block travelers from virus-stricken Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea. African nations including Kenya, Zambia, and South Africa make up the bulk of the countries that have instituted some kind of ban, and now that countries on the other side of the Atlantic have begun imposing restrictions, calls for the United States to follow suit have intensified.

But they are 3rd world countries who are not yet saddled with the plague of political correctness.
They can still use common sense without half of the country losing their minds.

The other thing is Boeing, United and American Airlines aren't based there.

To OP: Obama isn't in charge. Its not up to him.

Obama at his press briefing said that what they are doing is better than a travel ban, pure double talk. These methodologies aren’t mutually exclusive one can do what Obama is doing AND the travel ban!

Jones of course insinuates dark motivations, because Obama’s actions are so strange in the light of he not doing the most logical thing as the ban to be a way to keep Ebola out of the US.

Its working in other places. Senegal has completely defeated Ebola.

So what ails Obama?

If this is political correctness then he is the biggest fool in history.

I could agree with that. Who iyo is running the show?

How well has that "stopped ebola?" Seems to still be happening.

The only way to prevent an epidemic from becoming pandemic is at its source.
An epidemic must be dealt with at its source.

So how are these travel bans stopping people from traveling? The more who try to lockdown west Africa the more that people will try to flee the country spreading the disease without chance of tracing.

Or do you think that just telling west Africans to stay in west Africa results in them happily complying?

a reply to: Phage

Bravo sir. Bravo. Shame fear is destroying the world in every way. I guess the population control is inevitable now that we've collectively failed every test as a species.

a reply to: Phage

Of course all the resources to those countries should be sent their to stop it but countries have a right to ask people from those areas for a while to stay out since that is a sure way of spreading the disease.

Well, most of the west african countries with no Ebola are preventing people from the ebola areas from entering.
Border patrols and monitoring entry areas to prevent illegal entry.

Pretty simple.

"Countries" have rights to do a lot of things. Whether or not they make sense.

How do you send resources to help? "Thank you doctor for helping. But you can't come home."
Good plan.

Sort of like closing the gate after the horses are out?
www.cdc.gov...

Because there are no reported cases in some places it does not mean there are none.

a reply to: Phage

That's not how it works. People like doctors and nurses can come in and out and other people who bring aid to the areas.

When they come out they are closely monitored.


Its not absolutely fool proof but it is imo works to some degree from spreading it.

Stop or restrict the outgoing flights is a simpler solution than tracking hundreds of people suspected to have ebola running aound in other countries. It is that ounce of prevention vs a pound of cure thing.

a reply to: Willtell

When they come out they are closely monitored.

They are? By the hundreds (thousands?) that are needed to help?

Nor is "closing borders".

The risk of pandemic is there until the epidemic is dealt with. "Closing borders" is a knee-jerk reaction which accomplishes little.

a reply to: Phage

I'm just advocating the prevention of the spread of the disease.
Keep it in one place or you never get containment.
I didn't come up with this stuff.
The ones who have dealt with it for the last 35 years have come up with this plan.
If you let it spread to large populations it gets worse.
If you confine it then it burns out .

Closing borders and confining the virus is the only thing that has allowed it to be stopped before.
It's not a knee jerk reaction. It's the only way known to be effective for fighting the spread of the disease.

a reply to: Willtell

Who iyo is running the show?

Big Business.

Thats why the flights haven't stopped yet. Not even from infected countries. I know its not that simple because people transfer and stuff. but to date they are just "screening" and thats a recipe for more cases down the road.

It seems crazy, right? They are talking on the media and talking on Capitol Hill but still no action.

If they need a new aircraft carrier theres no argument, its a done deal. If they need to bomb another country, or behead another government, get out of the way. But your health and welfare?

They need to talk about it some more. They need to have press conferences, hearings and discussion panels.

Theres your sign.

No Fly Zones at the source sounds like a good start.

a reply to: badgerprints

In this world, impossible.

If you let it spread to large populations it gets worse.

Why do you think that it would be allowed to spread in larger populations?

If you confine it then it burns out .

Let 'em die while we stay behind our walls. Wasn't that tried in the middle ages? Didn't help much then, either.

So did the war on drugs.
Works on paper.
