David Quammen, an author of multiple books on science and diseases, including “Ebola,” and "Spillover," argued against a ban on flights to Liberia by stating the US has a “responsibility” to the nation “given the fact that this is a country that was founded in the 1820s, 1830s because of American slavery” on Thursday’s “AC360” on CNN.

Quammen first argued that such a ban would not be feasible because “it’s impossible to track them [people flying from Liberia],” and “you can't isolate neighborhoods, you can’t isolate nations. It doesn't work.”

Can't figure out which is more appropriate as a response:
- insanity
or
- nonsense!

Even beyond his idiotic statement, he doesn't know history.  Liberia was America's only colonized nation and was founded by the American Colonist Society in part to give freed slaves the option to return to make a new life for themselves. It was not created from slavery, it was created from emancipation. They created their Constitution based on ours and even named their capitol after President Monroe.

This doesn't change how stupid his statement is. The history has nothing to do with the health and safety of America and the world right now.
