Agree in principle completely.
That is why I want to lock down their borders for them, to protect the people in neighboring countries and prevent the spreading of the disease.

It can absolutely be implemented and if all it does is cut down the number of infected people entering the US from "a bunch" to "a few" it's worth a shot.

To me in 30 days it would be easier to lift a ban than to start one. Working with virus's in livestock it's easier to ramp down bio-security than try to ramp it up under the pressure of an outbreak,

In the end, Nigeria — the most populous country in Africa, with 160 million people — had just 20 cases, including eight deaths, a lower death rate than the 70 percent seen elsewhere across the stricken region.

Personally, I'd prefer something with an outer perimeter that keep the zombies farther away from my haven. I would probably lose my appetite (even for Spam) if I had to listen to them growling and scrabbling at my front door.
Q: Are we ready to merge the Ebola and Walking Dead threads now?

Air Travel and Ebola
UPDATE: October 20, 2014
Accra, Ghana
IT’S FUNNY, sitting here in West Africa again and listening to the news from the States. There’s talk now from certain corners advocating the quarantining of all passengers arriving from Africa, or even the outright banning of flights to and from the continent. A lot of people seem to have no concept as to the size of Africa, and which regions are are not affected.
On any given day the number of passengers entering the U.S. from the three impacted countries — Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia — is comparatively tiny, and all of them arrive via third countries in Europe or elsewhere. We keep hearing of proposed “flight restrictions,” but in fact there are no direct flights between the U.S. and any of these three countries. In fact there is only a small handful of flights into the US from any African countries period.
Europe, on the other hand, sees dozens of flights arriving from West Africa daily. It’s worth noting there have been no Ebola outbreaks in Europe, and citizens there do not seem to be as hysterical over the issue as Americans. This is not a virus that a person can catch casually, yet we are reacting as though smallpox were breaking out.

and yet one got through and infected two Americans.
I don't really care if its yet another thing they want to add to the ugly American stereotype.
Be overly cautious.
Fuck anyone from Africa or Europe that doesn't like it.

I don't think America needs to close its borders yet. My gripe is based more towards the mishandling and quarantine of suspected carriers by the CDC after it was confirmed here.
As it stands though, you or I, as Americans, have a better statistical chance of marrying a Kardashian and getting a reality TV show than contracting ebola.
