Travel Disruptions: U.S. entry rules trigger diversions—an Air France flight to Detroit was rerouted to Montreal after a passenger boarded “in error,” and DHS plans tighter routing/screening for travelers arriving from Ebola-affected countries. Politics vs Preparedness: WHO chief Tedros defends the agency after U.S. criticism, stressing support for countries amid conflict and a strain with no approved vaccine.
