    It's retarded to have a visa ban on people from those countries but no travel ban on Canadians going to and from those countries

    Do see any holes in that idea ?

    yep, ..well, that's precisely what happened with regard to the doctor in NYC... probably should have some kind of quarantine on returning care workers?

    Just enforce a 21 day quarantine on all travellers

    The end

    No need for the stupid visa ban

    my guess would be the visa travel ban would affect a pretty small number of people, ...assuming there are less going to Canada than to the US...

    So what , the concept of an enforced quarantine for all travelling back from the region is equally effective with large numbers or small , the travel visa ban is draconian

    Dude that was like 4 days ago.

    Glad your keeping up on big brother.

    They are all interconnected don't cha know.

    Ebola, oil and greased pocketed politicians go hand in hand.

    I am just surprised that no one has made the correlation tying the UFO's, Area 51 and the deforestation of the South American rain forests to Ebola yet.

    It had to be brought up. :facepalm:

    An American health worker who contracted Ebola while volunteering in Africa was admitted to a hospital at the National Institutes of Health in Maryland Friday morning.

    The patient arrived around 4:44 a.m. at the NIH research hospital in Bethesda after being transported to the United States in isolation on a chartered plane. The patient’s name, age and gender have not been released.

    The patient had been volunteering at an Ebola treatment center in Sierra Leone. The NIH did not release any further details about the patient.

    The agency has one of the few specialized isolation units nationwide. Previously, an American nurse was treated there after she contracted Ebola while caring for a Liberian man who died at a Dallas hospital. The nurse, Nina Pham, survived and is Ebola-free.

    The treatment facility at the NIH is staffed by specialists in infectious disease and critical care and is designed to prevent the spread of highly contagious viruses, including Ebola.

    The patient will be the 11th person with Ebola to be treated in the U.S., which has more than 50 hospitals designated as Ebola treatment centers.

    The World Health Organization estimated Thursday that the virus has killed more than 10,000 people, mostly in the West African nations of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The current outbreak is the largest ever for the disease. While deaths have slowed dramatically in recent months, the virus appears stubbornly entrenched in parts of Guinea and Sierra Leone.
