Agree with you. Since it is not a problem, why would the hospital ramp up for a possible outbreak? I suppose if the hospital had taken precautions due to the Liberian community being so close, then it could be a racist move...probably insulting. Ponderosa was one of the first posters out of the gate to worry about this spreading. But since ABC and the talking tools for the government have been downplaying this crisis, no big deal.

Cut it out would ya?

The only ignorant one here would be one who surmises everyone requires a visa to travel anywhere. I've explained adequately enough that ANYONE with EBOLA, even valid visitor visa holders to other countries could interact with an American in ANY airport in the world.

All of your volunteer health workers returning to their MANY countries of origin NOT requiring visas to do so could come into contact with Americans at any one of the worlds airports, hotels, brothels and those Americans could then fly home, again; not requiring a visa to do so and that makes all of your visa stuff just so much nonsense.

Whatever travel restrictions and requirements are in place for those travellers from where they're coming from or where they're going to or as per their destination of choice has no bearing on whom they touch, eat, or swap spit with in any one of the major hubs or adjacent cities.

A travel ban to the U.S. (or anywhere else for that matter) from the Ebola registered countries will not do a damn thing to prevent people from travelling hither and yon all over the planet, interacting with and perhaps catching the virus from people who have managed to make it out of those zones by flying, train, driving, walking or crawling. There is no visa on the planet that will prevent an American from flying into the U.S. from Paris for example, after he's had a weekend spent with a lady who just arrived there from Liberia.

You've really got to give up on this "ban" nonsense. IT WILL NOT WORK!

They will implement a travel ban when the next infected traveller shows up.

There's only 1 swat team.

And then you'll see it's as easy to implement as a temperature taking regime which they have already implemented at the international airports in the US.

Only five of them, no? People with Ebola will learn which airports they can fly to to avoid detection.

If only there were some requirement to "cite sources" to support the baseless suppositions posted to foment panic and hysteria.
