Countries issue travel bans on Ebola-stricken nations: If only America still had the same quality of leadership that can be found in most third world countries.

Once again these ideologically blinded morons have learned nothing from history. If you want to travel to and from one of the heavily infected areas, you get to spend a month in quarantine, no exceptions.
That's the way to stop the spread of this disease.
"That’s the ONLY way to stop the spread of this disease."
Fixed that for you.
The simpliest way to keep Ebola out is to have a travel ban from the source. Once an infected person gets here the chances for spread increase geometrically as detailed above. Since this is so simple and obvious, the democrat party geeniusus in the WH and CDC cannot see it. Their minds do not work in logical ways, instead only in corrupt and self-serving manners.
To answer Frieden's straw man, where banning direct traqvel by air resulting in infected people then coming over the boarders by land, really dumbass? Do you think so many of these sick people can really make the trek through the Mexico desert or Canada during winter that is long and difficult if you are doing so illeagally? Ban the flights and let these illegals try and use their last ounce of strenght to cross if they want to try. Let's see how many can make it.
Are Canada and Mexico allowing people in from Ebola countries? If not, that would make it even more difficult to get here.
We elected a man with a 3rd world mindset as President.

Urban Dictionary: “Earbola” – the nauseous feeling that one feels after listening to a speech by Barack Obama.
These countries have no relation to international involvement, political economy, or capital economy and they are all in Africa.
Also, travel bans make it far more difficult and expensive to get supplies to the source of the epidemic.
The problem in the US is not severe enough to do this.

There would be no problem in the US if we had done this.
The problem could have also been prevented if CDC knew what they were doing and if the hospital wouldn't have let patient #1 (forgot his name) go home.
That is true. But the complexity of a system increases the likelihood of error because the number of steps required to prevent that error increases to levels where mistakes become inevitable. In a situation like this each mistake can be catastrophic and a certain number of mistakes are guaranteed by the sheer number of things that must be done right and must be done right every time. The moment Duncan stepped onto the plane until the moment his remains were cremated hundreds of things could have potentially gone wrong for us. When two other people got infected it meant thousands of other things can now go wrong and with one of those infected people taking an airplane flight while symptomatic maybe tens of thousands of other things can go wrong. In a week that might be hundreds of thousands of things, or millions. There was one point of origin for this particular chain of events. There was one moment, one instance that if prevented could have prevented everything. And that moment had long since past even by the time that he was turned away from the hospital.
I emailed my doctor at the VA about my possible contact with the Frontier flight passengers. She assured me that there is nothing to worry about, but then, she works for the government.
...and there you have it in a nutshell. Nobody believes these idiots, because, well, they're dishonest idiots.
There is a difference between mission related flights and commercial. The idea that we should continue to permit commercial flights is pure insanity.
Good point. I got that talking point from this article honestly:

For all I know though DeGette could be misquoting Experts from Doctors Without Borders.
Keep in mind, countries who are banning travel from Ebola-stricken nations might have to ban travel from the U.S. eventually. If you think the financial consequences have been bad so far, wait 'til that happens.
You mean we will have to keep our money here?
