the u.s. has been extremely lackadaisical regarding the virus. somehow they thought that a travel ban was an end all solution. when i came back from china in january, there wasn't any tracking, questioning, checking, or anything of the sort. it was two CDC guys standing around talking to each other, completely ignoring the masses going through customs.


The ban went into effect Feb. 2nd so it's normal they weren't stopping people.

I wouldn't judge the direction of the country based on your 2 second visual of CDC agents talking at an airport.

I don't think they think it's an end all solution, but it helps bide time for research and helps control the spread.


how do you go from literally not even monitoring people to banning all travel (and then continue to not monitor)? that isn't "normal". it isn't logical.


You just said you arrived in January. The ban wasn't in place until February.

Are you arguing they don't know how to stop flights?

Did you go back to the airport and stake it out?
