For all the feigned outrage and PC BS out there over Australia's decision to impose a travel ban on Ebola-impacted nations across Africa, the fact is this is the first continent, country and island to take this viral outbreak serious in a concerted effort to protect it's citizenry. Instead of throwing in with the naysayers, the U.S. should be taking notes...

They will issue no new travel visas for people in Ebola-impacted nations in western Africa, and will require travelers from those countries on permanent visas or Australian passports to undergo a mandatory 21-day quarantine prior to entering the country.

At least one country out there is taking decisive action. Unfortunately, as animated as this appears, we're still seemingly here...
