Of course we should, and I haven't heard any serious arguments against it.

"They can just go through Europe."

That's not even true. They still have this thing called a "Passport". I really wish people would stop being dense and saying that.

"It will stop aid workers from going there."

No it won't. It would be a commercial ban, they can be flown on charter planes.

"There will be social/political panic in affected nations."

You mean there isn't already? A travel ban with America isn't going to adjust their situation in this regard.

"It will marginalize the sick."

By that standard we shouldn't have any protections against any kind of illness ever. I'm sorry but the public good trumps some people's "feels".

We keep hearing people say they are against the ban but you don't hear any real reason as to why.
