If this administration were concerned with a disease epidemic as they act like they are, they would do something about the border. There are many diseases coming across. People are being told to be vacinated for diseases being brought in that were long ago gone from the US and now being returned. We used to demand an "immigrant" be free of disease. Google Dr. Madeline Cosman for some information on this.
