Protect the United States and its people from the Ebola virus.

Created by D.P. on October 02, 2014

In order to protect the United States and its citizens from the deadly Ebola virus, the Administration should quarantine all persons arriving in the US who left infected countries (such as Liberia) within the last 3 weeks. They should be escorted directly from customs to a quarantine facility, until the 3-week incubation period of Ebola has passed, and its clear that the individual doesn't have Ebola.

While we hold the highest regard for our fundamental right to travel, sometimes an overwhelming public interest dictates that we restrict that liberty. This is such an instance. A complete travel ban to these countries is too restrictive. This quarantine is the least restrictive means that will guarantee that an Ebola outbreak doesn't occur here in the US.
