Everyone wants the Gubmint to shut the frick up until fear creeps in; then they clamor for protection and lament the lack of regulation and intervention.
Aside from some phrasing, yes, that's exactly what the govt should do/not do.

The initial story was that he did tell a nurse on his first ER visit that he had recently arrived from Liberia. An employee entered it into either a written or electronic note, but it wasn't seen by staff up the line and wasn't communicated verbally. The hospital tried to explain it away as a "communication disconnect" that allowed him to be sent home.

if their passport is stamped in an ebola-stricken country within some time period (last 21 days?), they would not be allowed into the US, whether they fly direct to the US or through some in Europe.
I agree with the travel ban premise, but not all countries stamp passports. I know for sure that Italy doesn't.

And we are supposed to believe he didn't infect anyone else?

Did you miss the press conference where they blamed it on a glitch in the EHR and it's now been fixed?

I guess the Associated Press missed it to...

Duncan first sought care at the hospital's ER late on Sept. 25 and was sent home the next morning. He was rushed by ambulance back to the hospital on Sept. 28. Unlike his first visit, mention of his recent arrival from Liberia immediately roused suspicion of an Ebola risk, records show.

I want to know if this book has been wrote? I think so. Stephen King's, "The Stand".

I've heard many countries have moved away from passport stamps. Some travelers request them, to make their passports sort of a scrapbook of their travels.
However, I'm assuming some sort of electronic record is kept. I know when I crossed between the U.S. and Canada about ten or twelve times over a four month period in 2002, Customs officials on both sides knew where I'd been.

Mr. Duncan’s symptoms, and the fact that he had recently arrived from West Africa, should have alerted the nurses and doctors treating him that he was a possible Ebola patient, Dr. Adalja said. The hospital has acknowledged that when asked if he had traveled outside the United States in the last four weeks, Mr. Duncan told nurses that he had been in Africa, where an Ebola outbreak in the west has killed at least 4,000 people.

But the hospital sent Mr. Duncan home, even after learning that he had recently arrived from Africa.

Don't you think this is a little too big to depend on an EMR, especially considering EMRs are in their infancy as a tool? Dependence on technology is no excuse for human incompetence.

I'm not saying it is at all. I'm just explaining what happened.

Which was bs. If the physician would have read the ALL of the nurses notes he would have known that the patient had recently traveled to Western Africa.

That doesn't say he didn't mention coming from Liberia during his first ER visit. It saying the alarm was sounded when he mentioned it during his second visit, unlike the first.

I agree.

It was actually alarming, when we entered Italy we basically just flashed our US passports and they just kinda glanced at them. It was almost like "oh, you're an American? you can come on in".
