Madder? Oh no

dude we have lost billions of dollars because of parasites/fish/flowers... 

Everything you are talking about is irrelevant to the issue at hand.

"Is it wise to ban travel into the us from Ebola-ravaged countries?" is a question best answered by analyzing the cost and benefit of doing that, not the cost and benefit of other unrelated things, like flowers, flu, fish parasites, etc.

[Flench]

Madder? Oh no

Oh , I knew I should have stayed in school , lol .

Do just a bit of research on infection rates and epidemic modeling.  You will see that the fight must be won at the very first outbreak before the numbers go up exponentially.   

Don't need to.   However those responsible for the gross negligence should be removed from the gene pool.

Has anyone read emergency plans adopted by every State in the Union in regards to these epidemics?

I remember when H1-bird flu was the big threat I and others demanded that the State of Utah review and update their pandemic plans, which had been crafted around the time of the 2002 SLC Winter Olympics. When people began to read what was in place they realized some overzealous Nazis had written them. What was created was essentially a dictatorial, police state with virtual all democratic institutions neutered. They quietly began to change things so we were not akin to 1930's Germany. Every State has some version of this junk.

The threat is not H1-flu, Ebola, or even terrorists. These all pose real threats. The biggest fear is the overreaction.

Calm decisions will always make for better outcomes.

This.

I only want to seal the borders from the three countries in Africa affected. Thats a total of 150 a day into America, "next time read my post". The only way to beat this thing is to beat it over there, oh and BTW the flu doesnt have a 90% death rate from infection.

One other thing for you to consider. Each and every time a new infection occurs the virus itself slightly mutates. Eventually its going to mutate into a easily transmittable virus like flu and if that happens were all dead. So the longer they play around with this the worse its going to get, perhaps eventually, like small pox did, killing 30% of mankind. Or probably worse since theres no treatment or cure and the thing is so lethal.
