I think you and I agree on the issue of ebola but the fact is that our dear leader a scant two weeks ago said it could not get here.  Its here. he was wrong as he is always wrong on pretty much everything.  Now they tell us its hard to transmit.  Yet all evidence seems to be contrary to that.  And so on.  You can trust what they say or you can look at the facts and come to your own conclusion.  I prefer the latter  approach because I can't keep up with the lies.

But here's another way of looking at it from a risk management standpoint.  I would agree that there is probably no way to be 100% certain it doesn't get here.  Does that mean we do nothing?  Of course not.  Risk management means eliminating those risks that can be eliminated, reduce risks that can be reduced and deal with what is left over.  We should prohibit anyone that travels from these western Africa countries from enterning the U.S. unless they are willing to undergo and pay for a 3-week quarantine.  There isn't much we can do about those coming here illegally across the borders but it is a dereliction of their moral responsibility to not do what they can.  One has to ask why they will not.  I maintain it is to protect dear leader from criticism, further erosion of his poll numbers and any additional negative reaction to the coming illegal executive order giving millions of illegals amnesty.  Yep, I am that cynical with this administration that gave us Fast and Furious, IRS, DHS, Secret Service, etc.

On the issue of Ebola in Virginia, if I recall correctly that was confined to monkeys in some quaratine facility and a couple of the workers died but not from ebola.  It was contained because they were quaratined which goes to may argument about anyone that has traveled to any of these countries that have outbreaks.  To get into the US they should submit to and pay for a 3-week quarantine.  But our government will do nothing this sesnisble until it hits DC and Virginia.  You watch.
