That sounds nuts. And it makes me start to believe conspiracy theories that Corona is killing people off like the Black Plague and turning them into zombies.

It allows for ways to circumvent the ban, and as stated, they certainly have infected cases. People will just get to Heathrow and fly here from there, so what good is this actual ban?

Trump probably thinks Brexit prevents viruses from crossing the Channel.

But seriously, I do find it frustrating and somewhat alarming that while we are hearing "stay calm, wash your hands and don't panic buy toilet paper, etc," the actions of our political and business leaders in basically closing down the country exhibits a level of panic that you would think would be reserved for some horror movie contagion. No wonder people are freaked out.

I cant believe I'm saying this... I REALLY cant believe I'm saying this... But... I agree with Trump
But only on this!
If we had done this SOONER we might not be in the mess we're in now! Not extreme enough! People are dying. Not as many here as in other countries (yet!), but this is as serious as it's been in our lifetimes. Years from now people will remember this as the era of Trump and the Coronavirus.
Ten years from now: "Hey, remember the Coronavirus?" TV programs: Pandemic! The Coronavirus! The plague that almost wiped us out! Back in 2020 the new decade began with a deadly plague that swept the globe...

come on now this is no deadly plague. Its an unmanaged virus thar presents serious risk only to certain groups, can be managed and recovered from by most. Deadly plague would be ebola and alike. |

Quarantine only works in short term. We need to build herd immunity so banning flights and such is not a positive action long term. |
