How did the first round go? How did Delta go? Plan for this being like that and back off if we catch a break. You ever drink and drive?

Thanks for posting that. My guess is that we shouldn’t prepare for anything and just wait to see how full hospitals become before we do anything about it. I know we had the first wave and then Delta but that hasn’t taught us anything.

Good try. You keep supporting people who want to end democracy. Nice story for the grandkids someday.
Not supporting anyone.....no need to read any more in to it than simply banning travel from a country. Appreciate you keeping up with MSNBC talking points by lumping anyone not you, into a category of against democracy.
Seems Joe already knew how to control CV-19 back in March of 2020, he just failed to tell us....implying banning travel was a bad choice.
Joe Biden
@JoeBiden
United States government official
A wall will not stop the coronavirus.
Banning all travel from Europe — or any other part of the world — will not stop it.
This disease could impact every nation and any person on the planet — and we need a plan to combat it.
8:05 PM · Mar 12, 2020
....
In March 2020, Biden or anyone else who said that banning travel from Europe or anywhere else was already too late was correct.
Horses were already out of the barn.
Covid was already in the US and spreading. Too late.
We needed to focus on measures to slow spread here.
It may well be too late to stop this variant from getting out of Africa and to the US. But we don't know that yet.
But if it's not here yet, slowing it up may well give the scientists time to make adjustments to the vaccines, boosters, etc, such that we can squelch it when it does appear (as is likely inevitable).
I think we'll learn a lot more about this new variant in the next few weeks.
EDIT: I agree with Bart that travel bans won't stop the variant from eventually getting here. I think the point is to try to slow it up, give the scientists a window.
Oh how soon we forget......It was on 24 February that Nancy was encouraging parties in the street......just two short weeks before that travel ban.
Yes, the first cases were noticed in January in the US, and what I said was that by March anyone, Biden included, saying that travel bans were too late were correct. It was already here and spreading fast, there was no closing the barn door in March.
Pelosi was wrong to dismiss it in February. I dunno whether she had the intel briefings by then that should have told her otherwise, but she was proven wrong. But travel bans in March were already way too late. Biden was correct in March.
But you're ignoring the timing. I didn't.
Do you actually have some different understanding of the timing?

The ban may well prove to be not necessary, either because the variant is not actually more dangerous or because it's already too late.

Yup, just as it might prove to not be necessary, there's a pretty darn good (bad) chance that it was helpful to slowing it down and thus helpful for the scientists to develop a response.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 10:19 amhttps://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/world/ ... strictionsMDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 10:11 amAnd yet the travel ban is to be criticized?youthathletics wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 10:05 amBe careful, the last time a president did not react fast enough or use his clairvoyant powers, as it relates to this virus....he was said to have killed millions.

Re: All things CoronaVirus
Yep. When the pandemic first hit, we knew very little. Part of the Trump criticism was banning travel from China but not Italy when the virus was raging. At least in this case, countries are attempting to restrict travel from where the virus is hot. May help, but probably not. I pointed out back in Spring 2020 that with this virus, by the time you notice it, it’s already a big problem. We will see.

Re: All things CoronaVirus
This is funny though I have to admit I wrote a well crafted argument for the written portion of the GMAT back in the day arguing that seatbelt laws likely create moral hazard that causes folks in the aggregate to drive less safely and create more accidents. And I do believe in moral hazard from laws claimed to protect individuals either from themselves or from others. The concept itself (moral hazard) gets hand waived off far too easily and dismissively based on presumed behavior of individuals that is too optimistic for the reality of who and what people are.

Sure but that wasn’t a law that is intended to modify behavior with government sanctioned punishment. “We” often do assume behavior of others and it get exacerbated when it comes behind govt law or mandate. “We” shouldn’t assume anything since, like, Free Will and whatnot, but it’s sort of instinctual to people from my observations.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 8:15 pmHaving watched crash test dummies and then speaking to engineers about the results, I have not left a parking spot without a seatbelt.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 8:08 pmThis is funny though I have to admit I wrote a well crafted argument for the written portion of the GMAT back in the day arguing that seatbelt laws likely create moral hazard that causes folks in the aggregate to drive less safely and create more accidents.
