Why didnt we shut airlines down from countries that have an Ebola outbreak?

Shutting down airlines from countries experiencing an Ebola outbreak could have significant economic and logistical implications, affecting both global trade and travel. Instead, health authorities focused on screening and monitoring travelers for symptoms, as Ebola is not easily transmitted through casual contact and requires direct exposure to body fluids. Moreover, many affected regions rely heavily on international air travel for aid, trade, and essential services, making complete shutdowns counterproductive. Efforts were instead directed toward containment and response measures to manage the outbreak effectively.
