“An indiscriminate ban on travel would make it impossible for aid workers to reach the most widely affected areas, obviously deepening the medical and humanitarian crisis.”
THEY WILL NOT DROP THIS. There are airplanes designed to fly with 2 crewmembers and HUNDREDS OF TONS of cargo. THEY DON’T NEED PASSENGERS TO FLY CARGO! The crew can stay locked in the cockpit while others (probably US troops) unload it. This isn’t very hard.
Also, certain people would still be allowed to fly, but will be quarantined when they return. What our problem is the Open Borders policy that just won’t stop...and that is putting this country at serious risk of a massive outbreak.
All they really need to do is flag their visas and not let them in.
Oddly enough, years ago, I flew to Liberia without setting foot on a commercial plane. And we had several pallets of cargo too.
