you are fortunate to live in a place where you can get inexpensive transportation to some great places on the European continent.
For instance, you can take the train from London to Paris!
For a less expensive place to visit, you can take Ryan Air from London Stansted to Trieste, then take a bus to Piran, Slovenia. From there you can travel the Istrian peninsula very easily.
Or go from Trieste to Ljubljana, if you prefer a city and college-age night life.
You can fly from London to Venice very reasonably, even for Carnivale!

The President isn't saying that containing Ebola is not an important problem. He is asking us to avoid falling into the emotional trap of hysteria and, instead, to focus on the medical, scientific, and logistical matters that will actually help.

The CDC can issue guidelines and communicate info, but each hospital has to do more than ask employees to read brochures. What happened in Texas is terrible; now let's focus on what is needed to prevent such events. Halting air travel, fearing all Africans, and other knee-jerk reactions will not help.
