Seems like africa understands that closing borders contains the disease, why doesn't Obama and the CDC?

Are you proposing closing our border to all international travel?
No, is that how you took it? I propose we close our border from nations proven to be currently experiencing an ebola outbreak-save our military and medical personnel.
The US doesn't seem to be handling this well. I say we (Canada) should look at closing the border.
I dont know that anyone cares what Canada does.

Because those people cant just go to other countries and buy tickets and get on airplanes to come here?
And our military and medical personnel need to be quarantined before returning. I believe that's the plan for the military anyway.
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- Health officials battling the Ebola outbreak that has killed more than 4,500 people in West Africa have managed to limit its spread on the continent to five countries - and two of them appear to have snuffed out the disease. The developments constitute a modest success in an otherwise bleak situation.
Officials credit tighter border controls, good patient-tracking and other medical practices, and just plain luck with keeping Ebola confined mostly to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea since the outbreak was first identified nearly seven months ago.
cont... News from The Associated Press
There should be a screen there as well, a passport would of course be required. We need not concern ourselves with a perfect solution-one likely does not exist.

Too bad you don't show as much concern about the 4,500 soldiers we lost to a LIE last decade in Iraq compared to these 4,500.
And now you want to lose thousands more in Iraq.
And when President Ebola closes the borders, you'll blame him for the ensuing economic chaos.
Did you ever consider this disease might be a plant from Cheney last decade after the Kenyan was elected?
Every reliable non-partisan hack expert tells us that more problems will ensue by closing the borders than not.
Continue to play the fear-mongering Nixon card as you have played the war-mongering one.
Aren't you the least bit suspicious the problem in the USA began in secessionist Texas?
With a hospital that refused to implement the CDC protocol in July?
Too much of a coincidence for me knowing the GOP .
We have little (some but little) influence on those countries. We can enforce nothing.
Think about the incompetence of our TSA. Think about general govt bureaucracy here and then multiply it by 100 for the corruption, bureaucracy, and nepotism that is the "norm" in many of those other countries.
And like I said...they can go to other countries. They are circulating in airports and shipping ports, while the virus can be incubating. And then try to enter the US from those other countries.
I care what Canada does.
The USA has seen enough of isolationists like the GOP in the 1930s.
Allowing Hitler to come to power with the bankrolling aid of GOPs like Prescott Bush .
That would certainly be untrue based on yer past posting.Im no isolationist, though I support only a limited presence, where its most needed.
So you've been saying lately with yer new tactics--I'll rely on the experts in real life--That said, if I come across as more conservative with the pandemic viral hemorrhagic virus with up to a 90% mortality, Im willing to take that risk. This is as an educated individual with a medical and paramedical background. I specialize in internal medicine.
Good ideas get conserved, you can drink a canadian beer in Liberia all day for all I care. This is more important than you.

Back at you for playing politics with Health and Death.Kudo's for finding a way to bring Iraq and Cheney into this.
Patronizing people with these "read to get an idea of the way things are" comments is your continued undoing.Read, not just this thread but others to get an idea of the way things are.
Diversion recognized and dissoved.And no-we aren't here to be the guardians of Africa's failed economies.
If the Africans had figured this out, they wouldn't have this problem would they?The africans have figured this out, why haven't you?
We absolutely have the power to determine who comes here, and from where-even if the left does not like it. If your answer is to do nothing because it wont be perfect (tsa, tangential entry, etc) I disagree, and I'd argue this is too important to leave to the demonstrably failed measures we have taken up till now.
Africa understands this, and they understand the risks.
So do professionals in the field...
Canada develops Ebola vaccine to be tested on 40 American volunteers

but not the ones who dropped the ball in Texas and didn't do as they were told by the CDC.
Trying to position yerself as better than other Americans--that tactic was stale when you first tried it.
Just like trying to make a huge deal out of 4 deaths in Benghazi instead of 4,500 in Iraq.
It's obvious what yer GOP is doingt repeating the words Ebola and ISIL to every question in debates without asking about them .

How long before this brilliance falls apart genius?
They haven't figured out jack****--meaning you haven't either--but keep up that patronizing--it fits you .
