The restrictions largely don't have any effect anyway, if you compare different US state policies with health outcomes.
Especially something like a travel/flight ban, as if that can stop an exponentially spreading virus.
- jlokier 5y agoA travel/flight ban changes the exponent, which changes the shape and peak of the healthcare curve, buys time for gathering data, and in Omicron's case, more time to roll out an mRNA booster dose which significantly improves protection against severe symptoms compared with the 2-dose schedule. It definitely has an effect, even if the virus is not "stopped".
- amanaplanacanal 5y agoIf it is already widespread domestically, a travel ban isn't going to do anything.
