Recommendations for international traffic
"WHO continues to advise against the application of travel or trade restrictions to countries experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks.
In general, evidence shows that restricting the movement of people and goods during public health emergencies is ineffective in most situations and may divert resources from other interventions. Furthermore, restrictions may interrupt needed aid and technical support, may disrupt businesses, and may have negative social and economic effects on the affected countries. However, in certain circumstances, measures that restrict the movement of people may prove temporarily useful, such as in settings with few international connections and limited response capacities."
Sickening.
I’d love to tell the communist slugs what they can do with their advice.
Got their “virus in every pot” didn’t they? No one will suffer unequally, even though first world countries were the best bet for aiding third world. Now we’re going to be up to our eyeballs fighting it ourselves.

They’re still in “Ebola Mode”, with the thought being that if you spray a bit of bleach, wear an N95, and do a few other things, you’ll never get the bug.
In the case of Ebola, a big ‘problem’ for the countries that had it bad (all in West Africa) was that a lot of Westerners simply didn’t want to take the risk of going there to help them...so they probably suffered more than otherwise necessary. But, of course, it took bodily fluid transmission to spread...and that is reasonably easy to avoid.
Now the TWHO (Third World Health Organization) is more interested in preventing that outcome (infected countries not getting help), than containing the spread. The problem, this time, is that Coronavirus spreads via aerosol transmission, and if you get enough exposure to it, you WILL get the disease. And if you go into a high-concentration zone for any length of time, like the Love Boat, you will get the disease. And if the concentration of the virus in the air is high enough, it will get past anything short of those military positive pressure suits...you WILL otherwise get it.
As I said a month ago, they’re still fighting the last war...and nothing seems to have changed regarding that.
So they have politicized health care. This is the end. Cue Jimmy. We must support illegal immigration even if it kills us all.
