Despite the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, the Obama Administration refuses to ban flights to and from affected countries.
On any given day, more than a dozen flights from Liberia are available. This is unacceptable and puts US citizens at risk.
The decision not to ban flights from Ebola-ridden countries comes amid the recent Ebola case in Dallas, involving a man who had recently flown to the US from Liberia.
Passengers taking flights to the US from West African countries have their temperatures taken, in order to check for fevers, prior to boarding planes. But that does not help keep the disease out of the country, since an individual may have Ebola for many days before showing symptoms.
