Again, i never said it would stop the spread of the virus, it will minimize the risk of the virus spreading to the US. That's what risk management is, you never completely eliminate risk - you do your best to minimize that risk.If you ban people traveling from heavily infected regions to the U.S., they are still free to travel to the rest of the world. They can carry and spread the infection into other countries. The people in these other countries are still free to travel to the U.S. and can spread the virus. People don't need to travel to West Africa to become infected with Ebola.
How many Ebola patients in the U.S. were nationals from the afflicted regions?
The only 2 americans that were infected on US soil were infected by a liberian national. So had Duncan not been granted entry to the US, there would be zero homegrown cases of ebola.
