More like 4.5 thousand.

If we don't care what happens in Africa then why have we had troops deployed there for over 6 yrs in like 50 different outposts? It's called Africom.

The average citizen in the West may not care but rest assured Western governments and corporations do care. Western governments are concerned with the huge increase in China's influence in that part of the world and our Western corporations need to make profit in that part of the world.

Exactly my point. The average citizen in the West does not care until it is their problem in their backyard. How could you misunderstand what I had said? The USA is not the only country in the West that has had to deal with confirmed Ebola cases recently. Is this a private pity party or can others join in?

No Pity Party on my part,is very simple to me,Ban anyone from coming to the U.S From countrys where Ebola is a problem until it is under control.
Close our Borders,Deport every Illegal that resides in the U.S,A little radical,thats just the way I think

Radical is one word to describe that solution...

Sounds like a great idea to me. Also... if you leave and go to a country infected, don't come back. This all started from one man lying.

A great part of the defense for this relies on people telling the truth. Saying I have been there or done that.

A sad comment on human nature but I don't think that will work.

Because above else we need their minerals and ores. We don't care what happens to the actual people or which warlord is in charge. We're happy enough to supply weapons so they can kill each other. As long as they do their dying in their own countries and the trucks keep moving, it's 12 o' clock and all's well.

EDIT: I guess it would be more correct to say that we do care about what happens to / in Africa, a lot. We just don't care about the Africans.
