Why is the administration so adverse to this idea?

Seems like a common sense way to contain the Ebola outbreak, no?

been arguing with people on the OT about this

I don't think it will do anything unless the entire world institutes travel bans

did you just really use the words "common sense" and "this administration" in the same sentence? You know that isn't allowed, off with his head!

If you don't want to get infected but someone right outside your home is infected and they want to come in your home, you don't let them in.

A travel ban would probably only delay the disease spreading to here, but a delay is better than nothing. It at least gives us time to work on more cures, stockpile more medicines and perfect hospital contingencies.

My friend just landed there this morning to do more work on an Ebola/Marburg documentary he has been working on since 2008, here is a trailer for his film that he made in 2009: LINK

a travel ban isn't going to do much.

first off, most flights to africa especially smaller countries like liberia go through other countries.

second off, if you are in african and can afford to travel internationally, you can probably pass through a place without a travel ban

third, its pretty common for african nationals to have two passports, at least the ones that can afford to travel internationally.

I mean, go ahead and do it but it won't do shite IMHO.
