Obama is and idiot. And so is anyone who thinks the spread of this terrible disease is "inevitable" and that we should just sit back and let it ravage humanity. The Black Plague wasn't stopped until people started burning down cities. This country won't even suspend a few flights. Man are we ever doomed!
I'm rational, I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any stretch of the imagination but you are going to see anyone within the Ebola infected countries of Africa attempt to travel to 1st world nations if they believe they could have contracted the Ebola virus like what I and others believe Duncan has done in order to attempt to receive healthcare.
This is why we need to halt ALL TRAVEL to and from these areas for the foreseeable future.
If we do not do this immediately we could see a very scary situation on our hands in very short period of time.
The UK has already done so.
It's the rational and the right thing to do for our citizens.
We are taking about the vectoring of an extremely deadly virus, debating between a choice of life versus profit is quite comical and quite sad concerning this particular situation.
What has the UK done?
British Airways ceased flights between the continent and Liberia and Sierra Leone.
There are no flights between the US and Liberia and Sierra Leone.
People can start a boycott of the airlines that offer such flights.
That's a little more pro-active than waiting on heads of state.
There are only two carriers that continue to fly and those flights are viewed as lifelines for aid workers. Reportedly, they are flying at 1/3 capacity and the passengers are rarely Liberian nationals.
Royal Air Marac and Brussel Air are not dependent on US passengers.
If there is pressure, it is more likely to come from pilots and especially flight attendants of these airlines.
Have you ever travelled abroad? There are these documents called passports that get stamped when you enter another country. If you hold a Liberian one, it clearly shows that.
My passports have not reflected half the countries I have been to.
If CNN is correct, Duncan is a citizen of Liberia and therefore would have a Liberian passport. He may or may not have worked elsewhere. He would have needed a visa to enter the US.
No it does not. Some countries will not stamp your passport, others will stamp a piece of paper if the stamp in your passport will deny you entry into another country.
Indeed. This is how it works in the real world.
One can ask that their passport not be stamped, too.i
Other countries have banned the region of Africa with the Ebola outbreak from arriving in their country. Countries like Nigeria and Britain.
For example, Britain would deny entry to someone flying from Liberia to Belgium and then on to London....Obama welcomes people flying from Liberia to Belgium and on in to Dallas.
Only thing I am aware of is that British Air has ceased all flights.
Can you share a link please that supports your statement.
