Why won't Obama impose a flight ban from Ebola-stricken nations?

[Siete]

The medical profession and the FAA said that a flight ban would not work...

You mean some appointed political hacks said that a flight ban will not work. One thing we know, there would not currently be any Ebola cases in this country if people from the three Ebola countries were not given visas to enter this country.

LOL ... here we go, now there is a flight ban, it wasn't done soon enough..

One thing we do know, if you would go jump off a cliff and take to rest of the RW morons with you the country wouldn't have to listen to you bitch like a little girl any more ..

still haven't figured out how to work the quote thingy, eh Siete?

click expand then go take some Midol, you'll feel better, bitch.

Yes, exactly. No one thinks that stopping flights from those countries would solve the problem in and of itself. But it would prevent people from coming directly here from those countries. What sort of an idiot would believe that it would make no difference if someone recently exposed and not showing symptoms yet, got off a plane directly in the US? Moonglow is a Moonbat.

My guess too. His view that America is imperialist.

It's called keeping Americans safe. And he's not doing it.

If you think a ban of flights from the ebola effected nations is going to keep you safe then you're already safe in your mind.

There are no flights from the ebola effected nations to America.

The information is extremely easy to find. Why not try a little research before you make demands on something that doesn't even exist?

What most people are talking about is a visa ban. The term "flight ban" was invented by leftwing propagandists as a straw man.

Perhaps he sees himself a citizen of the world and would not punish nations in Africa who have suffered from being colonized by the West. He did call himself a citizen of the world in 2008 - while overseas.

Given testimony delivered this week by CDC head Tom Frieden it does seem that President Obama is the person preventing the ban from being imposed , ignoring the will –again-of the vast majority of Americans who see such an action as being a sensible precaution, especially given the incompetence so pervasive in our government. Protests have started across from the White House, complete with Hazmat-costumed people :

Question: Which of those countries (Liberia, Guinea, or Sierra Leone) have direct flights to the US?

Irrelevant.

You people are screaming for a ban on flights from ebola effected nations.

Well you got it!

There are no flights from ebola effected nations to America.

Now stop your whining. You already have what you demand.

Hmm. . . they identify people who are citizens of the Ebola infected nations. Didn't you know that?

 

[Dana7360]

Have you lefties gone so far overboard that you have absolutely no ability to use common sense anymore?

I can easily explain how a flight ban will keep Ebola from spreading, can you rationally explain how it will make things worse? Feel free to use the idiotic statements that the morons in the obama administration use.

We already have that ban. There are no flights to America from the ebola effected nations.

You can't tell other nations what to do or what flights they can accept into their nation. You don't rule the world. Or even America.

Stop whining about something that's not happening. And stop thinking you're king of the world who has a right to tell other nations what flights they can or can't accept into their nations.

Obama and his evil kind believe there are too many Americans on this planet so killing off thousands to millions with Ebola is just what the "planet needs to save it."

Also, it is "unfair" that black Africa is dying while Americans watch the World Series, eat fast food, etc....so bringing it here "spreads the pain."

You are a RACIST if you don't support sharing the deaths of Ebola among you non-black Americans....according to liberal scum.

You can't ban flights from a country into the USA when that country doesn't even have direct flights into the US. That's a given. It would be like building a dam where there's no river.

Many African nations have direct flights do the US.

Not the ones that have the ebola epidemic. There are no flights to America from those ebola effected nations.

You're whining about something that's not even happening.

Or maybe it is because creating a ban would actually be worse than not.

Effectiveness of Ebola travel ban questioned

WASHINGTON (AP) - A ban on travel from West Africa might seem like a simple and smart response to the frightening Ebola outbreak there. It's become a central demand of Republicans on Capitol Hill and some Democrats, and is popular with the public. But health experts are nearly unanimous in saying it's a bad idea that could backfire.


The experts' key objection is that a travel ban could prevent needed medical supplies, food and health care workers from reaching Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, the nations where the epidemic is at its worst. Without that aid, the deadly virus might spread to wider areas of Africa, making it even more of a threat to the U.S. and the world, experts say.

In addition, preventing people from the affected countries from traveling to the U.S. could be difficult to enforce and might generate counterproductive results, such as people lying about their travel history or attempting to evade screening.

The U.S. has not instituted a travel ban in response to a disease outbreak in recent history. The experts insist now is not the time to start, especially given that the disease is still extremely contained in the U.S. and the only people who have caught it here are two health care workers who cared for a sick patient who later died.

"If we know anything in global health it's that you can't wrap a whole region in cellophane and expect to keep out a rapidly moving infectious disease. It doesn't work that way," said Lawrence Gostin, a professor and global health expert at Georgetown University Law Center. "Ultimately people will flee one way or another, and the more infection there is and the more people there are, the more they flee and the more unsafe we are."

Once again, proof positive that Obama is much smarter than the average Yogi Bear. He actually listens to people who know what the fuck they are doing.

You ban the passport holders. That way they can't enter the country no matter what interim nation they came from. Ban passport holders and visas. Which is what every other country has done.

Not every other nation has done that.

Which is evidenced by the fact that the man infected with ebola went to Europe then to America.

Do you just make things up as you type? It sure looks that way.

Oh, I did a search on your claim. I typed in every other nation has banned passport holders and visas from ebola effected nations.

Guess what came up? Nothing. There is no evidence that every other nation has done what you claim.

Actually that is stupidity in the extreme. All if those people are dead wrong. All one has to do is use a little common sense and knowledge to know that all that is complete bull shit.
