The European Union's health commissioner urged Europeans on Monday to postpone nonessential travel to the United States or Mexico due to swine flu. Good advice. It's a pity our government here is the US isn't exercising that basic amount of common sense since any dangerous flu will spread many times faster here than in Europe. Travel to and from Mexico should have at least been significantly restricted until this flu has been studied for another week or so to understand the threat better.

DU your foot! Closing our southern border and evicting the illegal ‘back and forths’ would have prevented this outbreak.
come on closing the boarder would have prevented nothing.
in times of global travel it´s only a matter of time when a disease arrives. the question is not if, it´s only when.
To: livius
I think there have been some on here who come over from DU and try to recruit voters for these third party candidates who don’t stand a snowball’s chance of going anywhere in an election except siphoning votes off the Republican Party. (I agree if the GOP isn’t soon returned to its conservative foundation, voting for ANYONE is soon going to lose any appeal at all for me.)
The relentless, rabid Bush bashing, etc. is all a part of the Democrat/Socialist plan to destroy the Republican Party.

The European Union's health commissioner urged Europeans on Monday to postpone nonessential travel to the United States or Mexico. . .Is this supposed to be a bad thing?

I see other countries are taking steps...but no, we must me politically correct which in this case could get us killed. Umm, yea, let's be "politically incorrect" and keep American citizens who have traveled to Mexico and other places on holiday, out.

The flu is stopping the Europeans and any US citizens that have half a brain. Closing the border (to illegals) “a long time ago’ would not have stopped this flu from spreading. Legitimate travelers will spread it.

To: IbJensen
If you contract this swine flu, thank a politician! These borders should have been CLOSED years ago!You DO realize this came to the U.S. through a businessman traveling to Mexico on business, right? Are you proposing that no one ever be able to cross over into Mexico and come back regardless of the reason?

I have to say the Bush/Obama legacy because Obama is continuing the Bush policy.
To: IbJensen
Let me get this right. You’re blaming President Bush for the swine flu??? That’s ludicrous.
Go start a thread at DU. The Bush bashers there will be happy to indulge in your lunacy.
To: b4its2late
"Why has our CDC been asleep?" Nobody's in charge.
Obama has had a hard time finding someone who is an abortion enthusiast but not a tax cheat.

To: Brilliant
Me too because only trolls would blame one and not the other. Obama is destroying this country and even some conservatives can’t get over their BDS.
No wonder Obama is so successful at what he does, hypnosis on a mass scale seems to work with the weak minded.

Closing the borders long ago would have avoided this potential epidemic.

To: Jonny foreigner
in times of global travel it´s only a matter of time when a disease arrives. the question is not if, it´s only when. It's also a question of how much, or how widespread any dangerous, infectious disease might become in the US. Restricting travel now could definitely limit the number of US communities where this flu will be present until we understand how deadly it might be.
It this should prove to be an unusually deadly flu, those who refused to restrict travel will look like fools, and the blame game will be worse than for Katrina.
