Sigh, you realize they screen at the African airports and people cannot transmit the disease unless they are showing the symptoms which can incubate for weeks. You also realize if we banned flights from Africa all they would have to do is fly over from Europe.
Um, number one, we wouldn't ban flights "from Africa". Africa is a big place. Ebola isn't all over Africa.
Number 2, the proper response to such an outbreak is to restrict travel FROM the outbreak to ANYWHERE so, Europe shouldn't be a problem.
Alas, we are so busy being PC in the west that one day, we're going to act way too f'n slow and a disease that is a real problem will f us in the a$$
