Require all people entering the U.S from Ebola stricken countries be quarantined for 21 days.

Created by M.M. on October 16, 2014

The recent ebola outbreak in Liberia has killed over 4,000 people. Realistically, we will not be able to stop health care workers, volunteers or researchers from traveling to help stop the disease nor can we deny them access back into the United States. The CDC has stated that ebola can only be transferred AFTER symptoms occur. Symptoms can appear anywhere from 2 to 21 days. If we require these people to be quarantined for 3 weeks as soon as they enter the United States we can drastically prevent the odds of an outbreak. This will mean that if symptoms do occur, that person will have had no contact with the public and be low risk in spreading the disease. People should not be volunteering to be quarantined while others walk free, putting our entire nation at risk
