How far is Africa from the US by plane?

Non-stop flight time from Johannesburg, South Africa to New York is around 16 hours 15 minutes.
The Kinshasa Capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo flight time to Johannesburg, South Africa's non stop is around 4 hours 15 minutes.
Total 20 hours and 30 minutes...(Lets round up to 24 hours.)
The Ebola incubation period, or the time interval from infection to onset of symptoms, is from 2 to 21 days. People are not contagious until they develop symptoms.
They could realistically be in NYC in 24 hours if all the lights were green, EBOLA incubates from 2 to 21 DAYS before it is infectious. Just how far can they worm their way in to a city, a state the east coast, the west coast where ever before they start infecting others? A homeless camp here a bus station there an air port. One gets to good old Mexico and mingles with a thousand or so deserving dreaming ms-13 un accompanied minors. You do the math.
