I’m a COVID doctor and I don’t intend to discuss “it’s not real” or any variations of that.
But I DO want to discuss why the “it’s not real” people are opposed to the border closures which would have ended this a year ago.
There is NO REASON for passenger aircraft to be departing Brazil OR India under these circumstances. Even if I’m wrong, and the conspiracy theory people are right about whether SARS CoV 2 exists, how bad the illness it causes is, or any of that, WE DO NOT OWE THE ENORMOUS, WOULD BE REFUGEE MOB from those countries a thing.
We have enough COVID trouble in the 50 states. Things are improving.
If even a middle of the road theory of COVID is correct (”just a bad flu”), WHY WHY WHY are we about to take in anyone with airfare (and, I have no doubt, “rescue” flights will be starting soon).
If COVID is such small potatoes, let them prove it on the ground in Brazil and India. If, OTOH, RNA virus evolution works the way I know it does, we should immediately close our borders, ban overseas arrivals at US airports, and even use the Navy to divert or destroy aircraft arriving from those places.
Let them go to Canada, the first post-nationality nation.
Oh noes!
Let me put on five masks, get triple-vaccinated and lock myself onto a 1950s-style bomb shelter, never to see the light of day again!
I’m s-s-skeered!!
Yet demented joe and willie brown’s punch say it’s real, but open the borders to every illegal out there.
30 different variants found in Brazil?
