This is very simple. With only 6,000 - 7,000 confirmed cases of Ebola in West Africa as of September 30, we now already have a confirmed case of Ebola in the U.S. CDC estimates indicate that at least 500,000 people may contract Ebola in Africa by 2015. The chances of having more U.S. Ebola victims is greatly increased without drastic changes to travel policies. Stopping all incoming flights from Ebola hot zones and closing land borders to travelers with passports indicating recent travel in hot zones are necessary to ensure a major outbreak does not occur on U.S. soil.
