Ebola Virus

"Scientists used a model to predict that, on average, three people who are infected with Ebola will leave Guinea, Liberia or Sierra Leone in each of the coming months to fly to another country. They based their model on scheduled flights for September 1 to December 31, 2014, historic flight itineraries from 2013, and Ebola surveillance numbers from the current outbreak. The results were published in The Lancet this week." (CNN Ebola Article)

Based on the article I just read I believe it is in our countries best interest to cut off flights to the infected areas.  Or keep travelers coming from infected areas in a 21 day quarantine to see if they have Ebola.  this will help end the speed of this deadly virus and save many lives.  This might not be the most ideal plan but it is certainly reduce the number of fatalities in the US.  Having travelers fill out a paper asking if they have come in contact with Ebola isn't working because you can clearly lie like Duncan.  It is a necessity that we step up our security procedures in airports to help end the spread of Ebola.
