President Obama's solution to Ebola crisis doesn't make any sense

22. I will address 3 points here. Please consider them.

3) Sending our troops over there is also unwise since it will be much more likely the disease will spread over here when the troops return.

The areas of the outbreaks are severely understaffed, under equipped to deal with what is going on. They need people to build more hospitals, even field hospitals since there is not enough for those sick with eobola, much less people with other health care needs. I suggest you read these articles to learn more as learning is good.

They need not only facilities but health care to care for the sick as well as equipment and supplies not only for the ill but to keep the caregivers safe. They also need people to educate as many there do not believe in ebola, in viruses, in what is needed to keep themselves safe. And they need people to keep those educators and health care people safe.

They need more people and money, much much much more. If they can get the epidemic under control there, there will be less chance of it spreading elsewhere.

The troops being sent are going to be working on infrastructure, building hospitals and the like. They will not be caregiving, which is very risky and has resulted in a high percentage of those infected.

2nd point.

an alternative idea might be to quarantine American travelers for about a month before they are allowed to fly back here.

Where is there a facility to quarantine all Americans who fly into the USA? What about people from other countries? No quarantine, just let them in because....I have no clue why. This makes no sense to me. If you would explain more, it might help.

3rd point.

putting a ban on airplanes coming here from West Africa

There are no airplanes coming to the USA from West Africa. Why put a ban in place for something that does not exist?

You edited this part out which is good because communicable diseases do not respect borders, skin color, nationality.
We have enough problems over here in this country to deal with, along with ISIS threat, rather than feeling the need to take care of the whole planet.

What is happening in this outbreak is awful for those in that part of the world and has been ignored for too long. Now that our country has a case, with a couple more from that original one, interest is picking up in noticing and hopefully soon to help where it is the worse. Not because those in power in the world care about those afflicted, but because now it is here. This is not about just "taking care of the whole planet", though morally every country that could SHOULD have been helping, but because it directly affects this country.
