The first ever case of Ebola diagnosed in the United States was a man who flew to the country from Liberia. So you might be wondering…
Just spitballing here, but shouldn't travel restrictions be in place right now for people coming from Ebola afflicted countries?

In response to similar questions, Josh Earnest said today that there would be no travel bans from countries with Ebola epidemics:
Good freaking grief "White House: No Ebola travel restrictions" http://t.co/hAuGT6SchV

Earnest said the chances of an epidemic in the U.S. are “incredibly low.”
President Obama said previously that the possibility someone with Ebola would reach U.S. shores was “unlikely.” And yet it happened.
@HeyTammyBruce Unbelievable!!!

So I guess the Obama administration is ok with a little Ebola outbreak in this country as opposed to travel bans. pic.twitter.com/iei3zrY4fX

If your business requires people you better wake up your government fast. Allowing people to travel to USA from Ebola nations is deadly.
