So here is todays trivia question. See if you can guess the answer without Googling. Kent. The question is: Who made the following comments about the right wings claim that a travel ban is the best way to combat the spread of Ebola? For a government to just ban all travel, I’m not much interested in that. You’ve got to put it in perspective. What if you wanted to save 15,000 deaths from AIDS this year? Why don’t you ban certain practices that spread AIDS? So, we’re talking about one person [who] died [of Ebola in the U.S.], and we want to close down the world travel system? You have a much greater chance of getting tuberculosis by flying an airplane, but you don’t put a ban on everybody who has a cough. Right now, the flu season has started… Between 3,000 and 49,000 people die every year from the flu, so if you really want to do good for the world, let’s ban all people who have a cold because they might have the flu. RIGHT NOW, I WOULD SAY A TRAVEL BAN IS POLITICALLY MOTIVATED more than something done for medical purposes.
