Just A Simple Question About Ebola

The CDC issued this updated warning on September 11, 2014:

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.


Q: Since Liberia was a known site of the current Ebola outbreak, and suffering some of its most dire consequences, how and why did we allow someone to just stroll back into the US after visiting there?

A: I suspect it's because we live in a country run by idiots.

Dear US government: If you haven't selected any quarantine sites yet, ya better get going. And start using them.

Dumbasses.

For what it's worth, here's a link to the latest CDC postings on Ebola:

Update: Apparently Obama ad-Dajjal signed a revised executive order in July which allows symptomatic people to be quarantined, but not asymptomatic people even if they had been in the hot zone. Was this too wishy-washy? I think so. Come on, how many people would have been affected if every traveler had been quarantined? And if the number is large, what does that tell you about the relative risk involved in not quarantining them? Do you recall the adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"? In this case there is no cure, so we better start preventing in a hurry.

Does this remind you of the President's ISIS "war", as in "too little too late"? We're entering a time when strong leadership (not merely dictatorship from the golf course) is required, but such a thing is truly lacking in our government.
