Who considers it strange that nobody seemed to consider a travel restriction or a travel ban until a traveler came here with Ebola?

Question

It has been months since the outbreak started and thousands have died.  Did anyone consider a travel restriction or ban in place before now?  Should it actually take a case to appear in this country before any action is taken?

A travel ban wouldn't make sense. There have been only two cases of Ebola in the USA. Only a couple of thousand people have the disease in Africa, and they are mostly very poor people who won't travel to the USA anyway.

Ebola poses no threat to America. Yes it's a terrible disease, but you really have to go out of your way to get it.

They have RIGHTS,you don't.

It's another example of blind idealism in the face of a real foreseeable threat. Pragmatism has left the building

apparently, one of the ways of contracting Ebola from an infected person is through heavy kissing and sexual contact.

On a plus side, that vastly improves my chances of survival
