White House Clarifies How Travel Ban Would Spread Ebola <http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/typepad/uIXt/~3/H3pysJAy-ZI/white-house-clarifies-how-travel-ban-would-spread-ebola.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email> Posted: 20 Oct 2014 01:07 PM PDT WASHINGTON (WNB) - The White House issued a press release Monday 'further clarifying' President Obama's declaration that a travel ban from Ebola-affected countries would actually spread the disease: *"Banning air travel from some West African nations would merely prompt those passengers to rent or purchase their own planes, something the United States would have little control over.* *It is important to keep in mind that an aircraft like the Airbus A380 can accommodate up to 853 passengers. A number of these private planes landing in various U.S. cities could potentially cause a widespread outbreak of this deadly disease, putting many lives at risk.* *On the other hand, current commercial flights offer the assurance of monitoring every single passenger through specific entry points, ensuring the safety of U.S. citizens."* The White House's response comes amid a growing outcry to do as many other countries have successfully done by temporarily banning the unfettered influx of people from the disease's epicenter.
