“We should stop accepting flights from countries that are Ebola stricken,” the Republican governor said in a statement.
The guy in Dallas with Ebola didn't fly-in directly from Liberia. His last stop before flying in to DC was Brussels. In fact I think there are very few direct flights (if any) from the Ebola stricken countries. So what is Jindal's point? Does he mean stop every flight coming in to USA?

That's the other part, and why I assumed it to be political grandstanding.
He asks for something that really isn't the problem. The real thing would be banning everyone with a passport stamp from those countries.

This was stated on CNN and proven to be false. A simple google search can clarify that.

Oh, I see you are not too bright. My apologies for replying.

I have yet to hear anyone (politician, doctor) say we ought to quit accepting passengers originating from infected areas of Africa, no matter what route they take to get here.
That makes more sense to me.

Confirmed: Thomas Eric Duncan Came to the United States Because He Had Ebola
Thomas Eric Duncan aka Patient Zero traveled to the United States out of desperation. He knew that he had been exposed to Ebola, and knew that he could not get treatment where he lived in Liberia. He had seen a friend turned away from three hospitals, and then die of the disease.

If only there were some system in place to keep up with who has been where. We could weed out the people who are most likely to be a threat.
