survey found that more than 70 percent of Americans would support calls to travel to and from Ebola-affected parts of Africa．
Thomas Frieden heads the U.S．Centers for Disease Control and Prevention．When asked whether officials had considered a travel ban，Mr．Frieden had to say：“We won’t be able to check travelers for when they leave or when they arrive. We won’t be able , as we do ,to take a detailed history to see if they were when they arrive. When they arrive, we wouldn’t be able to impose quarantine（强加隔离）as we now can if they have contact.”
Last week , President Barack Obama urged Americans not to what he called “ panic or fear “.
