\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: If we would have done what 15 other nations have done — maybe 10, I\u2019m not sure — we\u2019d simply ban flights from Ebola-stricken countries<\/a>. Until you figure it out, just ban the flights from those countries. Fifteen, 10, whatever, other nations have done that. Philippines, Canada. Any number of nations have done it! We haven\u2019t. Because we may be responsible. <\/p>\n

So here\u2019s Frieden of the CDC last night on Fox with Megyn Kelly. You can almost call this what it sounds like: When common sense confronts liberalism. Her first question was: “Why not a travel ban from West Africa until we\u2019re certain our facilities here are up to task and our system has solved the flaws that you yourself admitted today exist?” <\/p>\n

FRIEDEN: (whispering) “Above all, do no harm.” If we do things that are going to make it harder to stop the epidemic there, it\u2019s going to spread to other parts of Africa. It\u2019s gonna make it —<\/line><\/p>\n

KELLY: How is it going to make it harder to stop it over there? <\/p>\n

FRIEDEN: Because you can\u2019t get people in and out! You can\u2019t get supplies in and out! <\/p>\n

KELLY: Why can\u2019t we have charter flights?<\/p>\n

FRIEDEN: Charter flights don\u2019t do the same thing commercial airlines do.<\/p>\n

KELLY: What do you mean? They fly in; they fly out.<\/p>\n

FRIEDEN: For a week… For a week I sat in Liberia while the African Union team that wanted to send hundreds of health care workers were stranded in Senegal because commercial airlines weren\u2019t traveling. If we isolate these countries, what\u2019s not going to happen is disease staying there. It\u2019s going to spread more all over Africa, and we\u2019ll be at higher risk!<\/p>\n
