In an effort to contain the Ebola virus and protect the American people from an outbreak the United States must immediately require a 21 day quarantine period for all individuals that have been in Ebola stricken countries. Animals must be quarantined when entering or leaving the country, so it only makes sense to quarantine people when an active epidemic of very deadly disease is concerned. It has become clear that non medial, humanitarian, and news media people will lie on their questionnaires about exposure to the deadly virus and this is not a reliable method of screening. Stronger measures need to be put in place. If the US has it's own outbreak to deal with it will have fewer or no resources available to help other countries with their outbreaks. This is the only responsible method.
