First one has to ascertain how Ebola began and the theory goes something like it came from a bat that eat a beery that dropped that modified berry on the ground that a chicken ate and that, that chicken was consumed by a human. The reason Ebola has spread so far is because initially it was mistaken for cholera . It is also spreading quickly because Africans are bribing medics to leave their dead so that they can have proper burials which include washing the bodies a number of times and kisses of goodbye from family members. It is also spreading quickly because these countries literally had no medical infrastructure and also many of the medical people had long migrated to other countries seeking higher pay.
The UN WHO and CDC are better at dealing with second hand smoke than Ebola in fact Dr Feidan worked for Mayor Bloomberg and was responsible for the super sized soft drink nonsense in New York.
If it is true and I am not certain of it , it has been reported on a political blog that Obama has ordered that some/many Ebola patient from West Africa be brought here and treated in America. If this is true its about as dumb as one can get.
If you posed the travel ban question to a 7 year old he would say why would you allow such a sick person in my house. close the door

I really hope that this outbreak never reaches the level of that outbreak. Unfortunately we are NOT in control of the door.... We used to have US Public Health Service Hospitals with quarantine stations. I know this because I worked at one on Staten Island. The bad news they were all closed...by the same President who ignored that last virus.
I hope also that your blog information is incorrect....according to what I have heard the US Hospitals are only equipped to handle 9 patients, I think there are 5,000 patients in West Africa now.
I forgot.... at least 2 patients have already been transported to the US for treatment and all have so far survived. I think one doctor and a reporter.
