EU experts said on Thursday (27 February) that refusing entry to an EU country of people with coronavirus symptoms would be counterproductive and “ineffective” to prevent the spread of the virus.
“Refusal of entry is not considered an appropriate preventive measure as the virus would spread further” since those potential patients would keep moving in the region without being treated, EU sources said.
Instead, the experts advised having “systematic” checks for all those arriving, ensuring a coordinated approach between border guards and national authorities, as well as a real-time exchange of information.
The principle of free movement of people in the EU was already in danger in 2015 when some member states introduced border check due to the migration crisis. […]
Additionally, the commission is working on a joint procurement to ensure there is enough protective and medical equipment for health care workers — and other authorities like the army — over fears that the outbreak of the coronavirus could lead to a supply shortage in some member states. …

Nobody gave them the memo on political correctness. Plus they are blessed with an abundance of common sense.
And people clinging to their ignorance and drama queen hysterics need to understand the difference between epidemic, pandemic and normal disease outbreaks.
Rather then continue the lie, how about you all start watching the data and thinking. If this was “epidemic” or “pandemic” the death level in China would be in the millions by now.
it is not.

No offence, but I don’t think the Chinese figures are designed to serve as a medium for conveying the reality as found in China to the brains of people outside of Chinese government, but are primarily meant to warp the perceptions of those brains.
Given the disconnect between the actions of the Chinese and the numbers, I think it more prudent to believe the actions.

So which do we have now, linear or exponential?
Globalization creates co-dependency.
They live or die together. Literally.
I’m rooting for Corona over these dolts.
Superior organism by far.
The failure of this analysis begins with “EU Experts,” and continues downhill from there.
Uhh... not if borders are ACTUALLY closed (that includes. air travel). No incoming bodies - no carriers for the virus.
But those in the EU lost out on that long ago.
Think of protective gear like borders. It controls access.
Well it is now. A month ago it. I might have helped mitigate the spread.
Exponential.
Outside of China we have 12700 confirmed cases, of which we only have about 800 recovered.
I’m not sure if the website is glitching, or China just took back 20000 cases.
“...Exponential...”

Should I be more concerned or less concerned because it is “exponential” and not linear?
(”Shirley” you realize, those are just different ways of displaying the same data.)
In Korea? Exponential.
In the USA? the flat early part of the line that some still mistake for a line.
PLEASE watch every minute of this video. PLEASE.

I have always had a lot of respect for you until now.
It’s an exponential increase in number of cases, which makes the mistaken formula of number-of-dead-so-far/number-of-sick-so-far appear to give a low mortality rate, when it does no such thing.
“Exponential growth”, not referencing an “exponential graph”.
I sat outside today and enjoyed the afternoon at my fire-pit.
I had a couple of beers, listened to some classic rock,
waved at the neighbors, and watched the cats do stupid cat things.
It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.
How could they know?
BS
BIG BS.
HOW COULD IT BE INEFFECTIVE IF THE PEOPLE EXPOSED TO IT, OR HAVE IT,...ARE NOT ABLE TO GET IN HERE.
We were told REPEATEDLY, that it was a person to person contact that spread it.
NOW...oh, it is not effective by staying away from each other.
“EU experts...”
An obvious oxymoron!!!!
