"Ebola tourism" is "Citizens of the effected countries looking to leave?", Mr. Duncan being the current example.
The other types ought to go into 21+ day isolation/quarantine; while the risk might be low, the consequences are grave, and enough doctors have been irresponsible that I'd like it to be mandatory. Those who already have Ebola go straight to one of our 23 beds for that, as we've done with 3 people. ADDED: Now both of the nurses are going to those, the 2nd is already at Emory, the 1st is now said to be going to the NIH in Bethesda. Leaving only Montana's 3 beds untested (they've never treated a case). This vote of no confidence in a perfectly fine major hospital for "normal" problems is telling (and another strike against our idiot CDC director), as will the lawsuits that will almost certainly bankrupt it. Who wants to be next?
As I understand it, public health law allows us to temporarily quarantine incoming expats and citizens, I'm not talking about a simple ban for them.
When you say "I don't see the majority of them" we get to one of our fundamental disagreements, going back to
