A few days ago Kerry came out defending the reason why the Adminstration has not enforced any travel restrictions on countries with Ebola.\u00a0 Now the CDC Chief, Tom Frieden, has come out in support of the no travel restriction.<\/p>\n
“We don’t want to isolate parts of the world, or people who aren’t sick, because that’s going to drive patients with Ebola underground, making it infinitely more difficult to address the outbreak,” Frieden stated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Is it right, is it wrong, the costs of getting this wrong are tremendous.<\/p>\n
Common sense tells us that a patient with Ebola is to isolate the infected person so others do not become infected.\u00a0 It seems like the government officials are reluctant to do anything to help stop spread the virus.\u00a0 They make comments like what Frieden said, that air travel restrictions would harm people.<\/p>\n
The question is would it?\u00a0 What is the consequence of them being wrong?\u00a0 The no restrictions already resulted in one Ebola victim coming here.\u00a0 He had contact with almost 50 people before anything happened.\u00a0 He later passed away despite treatment.<\/p>\n
What was learned was the country was not ready to handle the outbreak, despite government reassurances they were.\u00a0 They were slow to act.<\/p>\n
If we don’t restrict travel into the country from infected areas, then the government must step up in screening passengers.\u00a0 The line of ‘wait to see what the government is doing’ will not help calm any fears.<\/p>\n
People should respect such viruses, but it appears our government is more concerned with keeping travel open for illegals than keeping its citizens safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
