Just a little tongue in cheek here, but what is it going to take for you to get on board? Grant it, we dont agree on many things..but protecting citizens should be the one thing we have in common.
A travel ban to ensure standardization of hospital procedures and protocols - once we are at standard we can lift the ban. If you cant get on board with that - at least port the infected areas for 21 days prior to coming from the connecting flight to here.
This flier came from Africa. Lets get smart here. Does it look like we are prepared to take in more flights when we are having trouble taking care of our citizens? All of our media resources on this case what about the other virus? I cant even think of its name.

Yale-New Haven Hospital admitted a patient late Wednesday night to be evaluated for Ebola-like symptoms, officials said in a statement this morning, and they have not yet confirmed or ruled-out any diagnosis.
"Late Wednesday evening, Oct. 15, Yale-New Haven Hospital admitted a patient who met the threshold to be monitored for Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). The hospital is working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Connecticut Department of Public Health to have the patient tested for EVD. The hospital is currently overseeing operations related to the monitoring and care of the patient," a statement on Yale-New Haven's Web site says.
Officials from the Connecticut Department of Health said they are aware of a patient with Ebola-like symptoms being transported to Yale-New Haven Hospital and have been in communication with the hospital and the city to ensure that "all necessary protocols are in place to ensure the patient receives proper care and that hospital patients and the public are protected."
The hospital says they have been "actively monitoring the Ebola virus situation" and have procedures in place to detect and isolate any patient who shoes symptoms on the disease.
"Yale-New Haven has advanced equipment and facilities and a staff well trained to treat any patient with Ebola, and holds regular drills to address situations such as infectious disease outbreaks," the hospital posted on its Web site.
Before the information about the Ebola-like symptoms at the local hospital, Gov. Dannel Malloy had already planned to hold a news conference at 2 p.m. alongside state Department of Public Health Commissioner Jewel Mullen to update the state on Connecticut's precautionary measures.

"Sources say the patient is one of the two Yale researchers that just returned from Liberia earlier this week.
The hospital said they will have more information around midday.
The students originally volunteered to be quarantined for 21 days but after careful consideration, the university said it was unnecessary."
