Health,
Regarding AIDS,
You said “My idea is that – at that time- all from the high risk groups -we tell them they have to get tested. When they get sick & want to be treated – they have to prove that they were tested; otherwise we don’t treat them!”
And then what? How does that stop the disease from spreading?? The question was how on earth would you get at least tens of thousands of people (probably 100s of thousands) to submit to testing knowing that if they tested positive they would be locked up (“quarantined”) for life? You were suggesting that the government should have tested all of the people in the populations that AIDS was first clinically observed in and anyone that they had contact with in the previous 10 years (that’s how long HIV can circulate before becoming symptomatic) and quarantine evreyone who would have tested positive. Your idea above does not explain how they would do any of those things.
Regarding Ebola,
Whether or not the Government is doing a good job enforcing quarantines has no bearing on the fact that a travel ban on North Africa would not keep the disease out of the USA I elaborated more in my earlier posts and you failed to address any of my points
