So ReTHUGs were making a big deal about Jamaica banning
visitors from the three West African countries where Ebola is raging.
Well that ban was introduced hours after they said it at the hearing, but more importantly there is this story about an American couple that landed in MoBay on Wednesday night.
The man had visited Liberia and returned to the US ten days before landing in Jamaica.
So why was he allowed to leave the US? Why wasn't he quarantined for 21 day?
They were both quarantined here overnight and sent back to the US yesterday.
No ban will work if people aren't following basic protocols.

The American man who arrived in Jamaica yesterday after traveling to Liberia has reportedly showed no symptoms of Ebola and has departed the island.
Liberia is one of the worst-hit countries in the recent Ebola outbreak.
The man and his wife arrived at the Sangster International Airport yesterday.

Where the Republicans had panty bunched over the Jamaican travel band. However - I would hope that due to proximity and the winter/high season upon us - that the Caribbean, Central American, and South American countries imposing these travel bans will take a very close look/extra dose of scrutiny on Americans entering.
Now THAT would make the 'We are such special snowflakes we Americans are' Republicans' heads explode.
