I would say/hope closing air travel is not necessary - what is necessary is strict quarantine procedures for anyone who travels via an infected country. The problem with both of these approaches, however, is that if that is the response of the international community, then countries will avoid reporting Ebola cases until it is unavoidable. Perhaps they already are doing this. Containment is unlikely to work all that well when Ebola reaches millions of victims, imho. The panic that will be happening at that moment will also ensure that every one of hundreds of millions of people living in Africa (or any other seriously infected continent) will be doing their best to figure out a way to get out. Many inevitably will.
