I would have thought quarantining africa would have been sensible.A
would you close america, nz, aus ect if a tiny tiny percent of a percentage of the population had ebola? no
u say this b/c of the fact it is Africa...and tbh it sounds old school racist
Will you quarantine texas?
It is pure racist. Quarantining africa dooms them. Stopping the virus there is the only reasom able thing to do.
LOL those should be two great names for the two newest unstable polyhybrids of the week:
Clipboard Guy - feminized
Ebola Plane - regular
You couldn't possibly make this shit up.
Grassland, the reason it may be counterproductive to quarantine Africa, or those affected countries within, is that you lose the ability to stop the virus at it's source. It may seem counterintuitive but completely closing travel, not just air travel as that would still leave too many exit routes by land, sea, etc. open, is nearly impossible and may actually hurt our ability to track the virus. The key to making sure it doesn't become a true pandemic and global catastrophe is stopping it before it spreads to more countries with ill-prepared health systems like India and China. At least that is the thinking of many of the people with some expertise in this area.
