we should spend our time being on guard about things that are actually real, like idiots not getting vaccinated because Kristin Cavalari and Jenny McCarthy told them it causes autism and now the number of measles cases are at a 20 year high

The idiots not vaccinating their kids nor getting flu shots are the same idiots demanding quarantines for everyone who's ever been anywhere in Africa

No they're not. I think it is stupid to not get your kids vaccinated. But I see this whole no vaccination problem taking care of itself after a while.

Oh and it looks like Liberia is making a turn towards recovery.

Because one day a case of measles is going to come through and prove to these idiots that vaccinations are a good thing.

the anti-vaccination movement hasn't gone away yet and we are at a 20-year high already, how bad does it have to get before they go away?

"In 1900, the city erected a barbed-wire fence [PDF] around Chinatown after a Chinese laborer, suspected of having Bubonic plague, died. Wendy Mariner, a Boston University School of Public Health professor, said the quarantine was "struck down by the courts because it essentially quarantined the healthy with the sick" and was "highly discriminatory.""

The US has a long history of quarantine, but there's been some consideration in the past for rights and freedoms of the healthy.

You also have to keep in mind harsh quarantines in the past (and in current 3rd world countries banning travel from west africa) were due to ignorance and lack of ability to otherwise control a disease. These things don't necessarily apply here in the US.

"(Reuters) - A teacher at a Louisville, Kentucky, Catholic school has resigned rather than take paid leave after parents raised concerns about her trip to Kenya, half a continent away from the Ebola epidemic in western Africa, WDRB Channel 41 TV reported.

Susan Sherman, a religious education teacher who is also a registered nurse, was recently on a mission in Kenya in eastern Africa. When she returned, St. Margaret Mary school requested she take a precautionary 21-day leave and produce a health note from her doctor, according to a statement from the Archdiocese of Louisville.

Sherman, who taught religion to seventh- and eighth-graders, chose to resign instead, according to WDRB."

Half my family declined to show up to Thanksgiving because it fell within 21 days of me getting back from Benin. I was absolutely blown away. This group includes my mom's best friends; she's disowned the lot of them. Lot of people aren't on speaking terms, because they were afraid that I was going to bring ebola from a country with zero cases to a country that has imported a half dozen and grown two of their own.

https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/05/ebola-returns-to-the-congo-just-as-trump-decides-to-rescind-ebola-funds/560012/

Quote :
"The United States is already forgetting. Just as news of the Ebola outbreak broke, Donald Trump asked Congress to rescind $252 million that had been put aside to deal with Ebola, as part of a broader move to cut down on “excessive spending.” That pot of money is the leftover from a $5.4 billion sum that Congress appropriated for dealing with the West African Ebola epidemic in 2015.

That epidemic ended two years ago, but “having some money left over was intentional,” says Ron Klain, the former Ebola czar. It allows USAID to quickly deploy responders to the site of a future outbreak, to prevent it from metastasizing into an international disaster. It is not, as the Trump administration suggests, an example of “irresponsible federal spending.” Quite the opposite: It’s a savvy investment, since epidemics are always more expensive to deal with once they rage out of control.

Congress has 45 days from the time of Trump’s request to act, during which time the $252 million is frozen. If they vote it down, or simply ignore it, the funds will be spent as intended. But “if Congress accepts Trump’s proposal, USAID will have no funding for a response when the next crisis comes,” says Klain, “and it will have to wait until Congress passes new funding, or diverts funds from some other, then-existing disaster response.”

“It is crazily short-sighted to do this,” he adds."
