Well… there is some sanity, slowly returning, to MAGA leadership at the CDC. As we mentioned this morning, until earlier today, if you were carrying a US Passport, but had been to South Sudan, DRC or Uganda in the past three weeks — you could come right home.

But now — after mine of this morning pointing out the jingoistic lunacy in that policy set — the federal government will now require ALL arrivals to the Us from those countries (in the last 21 days) to be “enhanced checked / screened” through Dulles, before ANY onward travel.

In any event, here’s the latest — from the NYT reporting:

…Earlier this week, the C.D.C. invoked an emergency public health rule to block entry into the United States by travelers who had been in the three African nations in the past 21 days. That restriction did not apply to American citizens or U.S. service members.

The restrictions came after the World Health Organization declared the Ebola outbreak a global health emergency last weekend. The outbreak is suspected to have caused more than 130 deaths and nearly 600 infections, according to the W.H.O. The agency’s head said on Wednesday that there was little risk of the outbreak developing into a pandemic, even as the number of suspected cases and deaths continued to climb….

At least that makes. . . some logical sense. Onward — fingers crossed.
