I'm not putting a political "angle" on it. It was republicans who each asked the same questions and heard the same answer. It was also a republican who dismissed it all, and called for border protection anyway. Maybe some Dems are calling for it too I don't really know - All I am sayings is that this is what I saw for the 20 minutes or so that I watched.
Also, you are missing the point. Isolating people with the virus IS a good idea and MUST be done of course. Blocking air travel is not the way to do this. Currently, people can be tracked as far as who their friends are, who they have seen, where they have traveled from etc, making controlling the outbreaks from occurring EASIER. If you block access to the US from Africa, people will travel to other locations and then enter the US that way, making it harder to know where they truly came from, and harder to trace their history to see who they may have interacted with, or which other planeloads of people they may have infected.
