Quote:Except that's not how it's spread anywhere at any point. EVERY case of this disease spreading has been from direct contact with West Africa. We can speculate what it might or might not have or will do in the future, but it simply hasn't gone "dormant" and crossed multiple nations at any point. 

 

The disease is here as a DIRECT result of us failing to seal ourselves off from West Africa. 

 

You're still skewing the discussion away from the point I disputed, that the government should not bring patients here proactively. Closing the borders is a different issue. Close them, build walls, live in bunkers - Ebola will eventually get here. Better to learn how to deal with it in the best facilities possible.

 

You're also naive if you think we should not be actively engaged in stopping the spread of Ebola in Africa. I know you're a strict isolationist, but we live in a global economy. That virus has a fertile feeding ground in under developed countries, and even in more modern countries, that are important to our national interest.
