#Ebola Fact: 6,000 People Fly Into U.S. From EBOLA Ravaged Western Africa Each Week, (Video)

Thursday, October 2, 2014 8:21
As the Ebola Virus spreads out of control across West Africa, airlines around the globe are monitering the situation but have yet to make any drastic changes to their service areas. 

Airlines quickly take passengers from one area of the globe to another. One sick passenger is all it takes to infect hundreds or even thousands of other people. 

As 6000 people fly from Ebola ravaged West Africa to America each week, it seems inevitable that it’s just a matter of time before more people infected with Ebola make it to American cities.
As you will seee in the video below, the risk of the virus spreading is inevitable. 

The federal government derives its authority for isolation and quarantine from the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

Under section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S. Code § 264), the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services is authorized to take measures to prevent the entry and spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States and between states.

The authority for carrying out these functions on a daily basis has been delegated to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)..
