That's a logical thought, but they'll probably backfire and make the disease harder to control. If someone tells you you can't do something--what's the one thing you want to do? You want to do that thing. Plus, there aren't any direct flights from Liberia -> USA, so you'd have to stop ALL flights. And that is going to go over like a lead balloon.

The solution to this is twofold--make sure hospitals here are prepped (Texas Presbyterian wasn't, but tried to act like they were) and get folks on the ground in Liberia to get it contained. The UN acknowledged they blew this one, but it can be contained and burn out, just like it always has in the past. The bigger difference in this case is that it made its way into the big cities, whereas usually it hangs out in rural, isolated areas.
