Something I've been calling for in many posts for a week now.
What's the downside of Not allowing Flights or passengers from the 3 countries (maybe now 4)?
A few thousand Liberians/Sierra Leonese, Guineans have to delay visits to their relatives in the USA?
Is there any pressing World Business that MUST be conducted in person?
Some/many Liberians have relatives here. Liberia was a founded as a former USA slave colony.
Ebola has a 3 WEEK Incubation and many may not show symptoms until after arrival.
Obama must stop the BS PC/partiality.
What happens if someone infected lands in Mexico City, Honduras, or Bombay, instead of the USA?
British Airways, Emirates, and Kenya Airways, Have stopped flights.
This would NOT preclude [only] Special Precaution Charter Flights for aid workers and supplies.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans say they are concerned about an Ebola outbreak in the United States, and about the same amount say they want flight restrictions from the countries in West Africa where the disease has quickly spread.
A new poll from the Washington Post and ABC News shows 67% of people say they would support restricting entry to the United States from countries struggling with Ebola. Another 91% would like to see stricter screening procedures at U.S. airports in response to the disease’s spread.
Thus far, some countries in Europe have restricted flights from these countries in West Africa, and an increasing number of U.S. lawmakers are calling for similar bans. The White House has yet to increase restrictions, with federal officials saying such a move could actually increase the spread of the disease by hampering the movement of aid workers and supplies.

The support for increasing restrictions puts the White House in a tough spot. Given the moves by other countries and the American public’s stance, there is increasing pressure to act. And given the very real -- but still somewhat muted -- concerns about the disease, that's significant, especially if the disease continues to expand.
