I'm surprised that this hasn't been spoken about publicly yet. I'm far from an alarmist, but the spread of Ebola is already critical within a large region and is now starting to spread to other countries and continents.
Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting a "Shut the door and leave 'em be" policy. I think that the world needs to fully mobilize and spare no resources in containing the disease immediately. But as part of the containment strategy, I would certainly understand restrictions on international travel.
The UN's recent warning that this is on the verge of becoming something we don't have a plan for should terrify people. The plans that we do have aren't really working (infections are spiking, death rates climbing), so what happens if the response becomes ad-hoc?
