So, no doctors or social workers can travel, eh?

Good idea.

Amid Ebola fears, should the U.S. ban air travel from West Africa?

Despite concern about a domestic Ebola outbreak after the first diagnosis of the virus in the United States this week, senior officials with President Obama's administration on Friday brushed aside a proposed ban on air travel to and from West African countries affected by the virus, arguing the move would be counterproductive.
Lisa Monaco, a homeland security adviser to the president, said during a news conference Friday at the White House that such a step could actually "impede" the response to the epidemic that has claimed over 3,400 lives to date.

The move would "slow down the ability of the United States and other international partners to actually get expertise and capabilities and equipment into the affected areas," she said, suggesting that the best way to ultimately end the epidemic is to target it at its source in West Africa.
"The most effective way to go about controlling this is to prevent those individuals from getting on a plane in the first place," she said. She noted that, since the beginning of the epidemic in March, "Dozens and dozens of people have been stopped from getting on flights in the region."
She also said the U.S. has taken a number of steps to help Customs and Border Patrol personnel identify symptomatic individuals and prevent their entry, and she said the government is "constantly going to evaluate" best practices as containment efforts continue....

Most of the organizations helping over there charter their own flights.

We can't ban flights from West Africa. That would stop Ebola infected people from coming into our country. That woud be counter to creating as much chaos as possible leading up to the 2016 election, eliminating one of the excuses for the liberal messiah to stay in office.

if you knew anything about international flights there aren't many direct flights from the stricken areas of Africa . most people come from Africa and fly to America through Europe , just as the Ebola carrier did when he came to Dallas (through Brussels). But if signing a petition makes you feel better , go ahead

The Ebola patient in Texas first flew from Monrovia to Brussels , Brussels Airlines, then boarded a United flight to Washington, D.C., and another one to Dallas.

If someone isn't exhibiting symptoms of Ebola, that person is not infectious. And one of the first symptoms of Ebola is a fever. In airports in all of the affected regions and across the world, passengers coming from flights from West Africa are being screened for elevated temperatures.If a passenger is sick or has a fever, they won't fly. According to the CDC, "a U.S. Department of Transportation rule permits airlines to deny boarding to air travelers with serious contagious diseases that could spread during flight, including travelers with possible Ebola symptoms. This rule applies to all flights of U.S. airlines, and to direct flights (no change of planes) to or from the United States by foreign airlines."

But lets not let facts get in the way of hysterics

Yes. We should rely on "screeners" in other countries to determine who we let into ours....

Yes..we should let the airlines decide whether or not to deny boarding to passengers who may have diseases.

But lets not let facts get in the way of hysterics

Yes..Believe everything the government tells you. Everything is fine. They have the situation completely under control.

Naive statist.
