before boarding planes out of africa?

one must be aggressive with contagions and it is appalling the level of "slow" at the cdc & w.h.o & others who have the power to enact quarantine sanctions and are refusing to do so. failure to stop the contagion from spreading from the source is negligent, irresponsible and endangering the world. for example? one does not only check temperatures at the airport upon entering a country - temperatures are also checked and histories taken when LEAVING the country of travel origin prior to boarding the plane.
