Unless they've recently stopped this flight, United Airlines flies directly from Houston to Lagos, Nigeria. Nigeria is one of the countries experiencing an outbreak of Ebola.
Arik Air flies from Lagos, Nigeria directly into JFK three times a week also, I believe.
Delta Airlines has direct flights into Ghana (west Africa, nestled snugly between Nigeria and Liberia) from JFK and Atlanta.
United Airlines also flies directly from JFK into Ghana.
Nigeria the the big money of Africa. There are direct/ non stop flight to/ from Lagos from almost everywhere. They quickly ceased accepting flight from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guiana after a Liberian passenger presented with Ebola . Thus far, they have not experienced an outbreak.

The U.S. has had more cases of Ebola than Ghana.
LOL right - one more.
As for Nigeria - they DID have an outbreak of Ebola. They have managed to contain it but it happened - just a few months ago, July to be exact.
Get this through your head, TEXAS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS! Texas is not the Federal Government, its not their responsibility. If you have a problem with the way its been handled, then take it up with your boy Obama, the federal government and the CDC.
Wrong the regulation an in some cases the operation of hospitals and clinics is a state, county or municipal responsibility . States regulate and license all levels of health care professional. Did you know a Doctors Medical License to practice medicine in Texas is is null and void up here in Maryland and if he tried to practice medicine here in Maryland he would be treated as a felon until he got a license to pactice medicine in Maryland from our Medical Licensing Board. Now if he found himself facing an emergency situation rest assured we have a Good Samaritan Law in this state so his expertise would be welcomed (He just can charge for his services). In fact if you are in a position to help and know what to do failure to assist is crime and you could be hauled into court for that. For example lets say he is on I-95 heading into Baltimore for a meeting at Johns Hopkins and he witnesses a car crash....
The Mac Sennett comedy of errors at Presbyterian and with State ,and local authorities shows that the State of Texas doesn't take public health seriously enough to spend much on it. One can have as many mock drills against unlikely senarios until the cow come home but every one will act like excited chickens when it isn't a drill.

I was actually being sarcastic.. me thinks its a lot easier to get infected than what's being reported..
I figure it will spread though Africa with in one year. all it takes is a few disgruntled to spread it faster than it already is..

Nearly all doctors in nearly all states must be licensed by the state they're practicing in.
