*CDC Director Thomas Frieden related the information that the individual who tested positive had traveled to Liberia. The person left Liberia on September 19 and arrived in the United States on September 20 with no virus symptoms. Frieden said that it was four or five days later that the patient, who is believed to be male, began developing symptoms and was ultimately admitted to Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas on Sunday, September 28.

WHY ARE WE ALLOWING PEOPLE TO TRAVEL TO EBOLA-CONTAMINATED COUNTRIES?!?!?
From the ^CDC website:
Quote:
CDC urges all US residents to avoid nonessential travel to Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone because of unprecedented outbreaks of Ebola in those countries. CDC recommends that travelers to these countries protect themselves by avoiding contact with the blood and body fluids of people who are sick with Ebola.

An outbreak of Ebola has been ongoing in Liberia since March 2014.

Why hasn't the State Dept banned travel to Liberia and other African nations? The govt banned travel to Israel for a few days when a Hamas rocket landed within a mile of the airport, yet they allow people to go to the site of the worst disease outbreak in decades?
Ban flights to Africa, put alerts on people who have visited Africa and quarantine them until it's proven they're ebola-free.
