According to the head of the CDC banning flights from west africa would somehow make things worse. I don't understand his logic.
Little barry is on top of it so no worries.

He said it would hurt their economies - and that it would drive people 'underground.'
And that it would only delay, not cure the problem.
Hell, I'm all for a little delay in the spread - while we work on a cure.

He can't spell out the logic because it wouldn't go over well. Back in the day AIDS hit Africa and nobody cared. It's what happens in Africa. But when it was spread to the developed world then everyone got motivated to fight it. Therefore, it was necessary for lots of Americans to die from AIDS to mobilize our medical forces against it's spread.
Similarly, there have been Ebola outbreaks in Africa years ago. Lots of Africans died. Nobody in the US or Europe cared. But now there is a breakout. In the minds of the CDC leader we need for lots of Americans to die in order to mobilize our resources against it. But he cannot say that into a microphone.
