BREAKING: Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard today called for immediate measures to stop the further spread of the Ebola virus in the United States: “Recent mistakes have revealed that the U.S. public health system is clearly not fully prepared to combat Ebola and prevent its spread in the United States. We cannot stand idly by while this heart-breaking epidemic rages in West Africa, already claiming thousands of lives. There are immediate steps we must take to ensure the safety of the American people, and ensure we can maintain our support for West African nations that are overwhelmed by this crisis. First, we need to immediately suspend commercial flights from the West African nations into the United States, as well as suspend visas for their passport holders, until we can ensure that our health facilities are adequately prepared. This temporary suspension will give our healthcare leaders the time and space to adequately prepare our health system to handle Ebola cases, and help us to stay focused on the prevention efforts in West Africa.” -TG Read the congresswomans full statement here: tinyurl/q8pq3x2.
