By your logic we should all be scared if we fly to Texas or Spain as Ebola has spread domestically there.

However, everyone needs to be vigilant and prepared to minimize unnecessary spread of the virus. Making sure people who are infected don't fly is one of them (including the 2nd nurse in the USA).

theseatbelt, I think you bolded the wrong words in cana2013's quote. He/she said "...to some of the flights to Africa", which to me, implies some of the countries in Africa.

Cana2013's comments are fair. Why are we putting our country at risk by flying to or from Ebola affected countries? (e.g. West Africa)
