The worst outbreak so far and spreading.

Should we stop planes from Africa from entering the U.S.?
I feel sorry for the two American's who've contracted the disease. But, I don't see the point in flying them home because it seems inevitable that it will increase the risk of the virus spreading here in the US. They need to be treated on site in Africa, hydrated (which is about all you can do) and hope they make it when the virus burns out.

I know they will take full HAZMAT protections on the plane and in the US hospital etc ... but people make mistakes and no system is foolproof.
