And they say travel bans don't work!
But that is a very interesting anecdote.
- yodon 5y agoTravel has changed radically since the dark ages. The effectiveness of a travel ban during the dark ages is not a good guide for the effectiveness of one today.
- jb1991 5y agoI guess it wasn't obvious, but I was being facetious.
- masklinn 5y ago> And they say travel bans don't work! No, “they” say that performative racist restrictions don’t work against epidemics. Example of a “travel ban”: closing only direct flights, only from china, only to foreign nationals, when cases are already blowing up stateside and streaming in from other non-banned countries. Example of an actual travel ban: closing travel from anywhere, to anyone, possibly aside from to local residents and nationals following extensive supervised quarantining.
- jb1991 5y agoI agree with you completely. My remark was just tongue-in-cheek.
