The problem is, like with China, thousands if not millions from India have dual passports, US/India. Plus those with student visas and professional visas all of whom will be exempted, no doubt.
Racist, racist, racist!
Day late dollar short
They need them for the second wave that they promised
it should have been done a month ago
will we hear cries of xenophobia, racism and isolationism from the Left?
You’re one of the “India Bad!” misinformation guys, right?
This.
Oh Noes!!!!
RACIST!!!! RACIST!!!!
I threw mine in as double, even though you beat me to it. :)
Irrelevant & somewhat misleading graph.
What is relevant is what are the CURRENT normalized case rates in the portion of the population likely to travel to the US, and how many such travelers there are from each country, per day. Whether those persons are more likely to be infected by a more transmissible and / or more virulent variant is also a factor.
I’m guessing India’s case numbers are highly suspect on the low side: If some areas really are reporting 50% positivity test rates, that indicates to me that testing capacity has been overwhelmed, and the majority of people tested are persons with significant symptoms.
Perhaps the only good numbers available are those of the numbers of likely travelers. Maybe some FReeper would have those?
Beyond that, there is probably “some” information on % of cases being variants, and... It definitely appears India is on the front end of it’s first major COVID-19 wave.
Should travelers from, say, Belgium be presently restricted, or, at least, VERY closely screened? From Belgium’s current case curve I’d say “maybe”, with more details needed.
Irrelevant. See post 73.
FWIW I rather like most of the Indian people I have met, especially so those I’ve worked with either as a co-worker or as a customer of a manufacturing vendor.
But, that is also irrelevant with regard to such a National policy toward a friendly nation.
So dangerous, we have to act come Tuesday.
Nobody should be restricted from travel to and from anywhere because of Covid-19.
Period.
It’s all BS. Virus gonna do what it will. Lockdowns are stupid. Masks are stupid. Travel restrictions are stupid.
Pay me now or pay me later. Live Free Or Die!!!
Travel restrictions will put a crimp in the H1B lottery.
Employers may have to hire Americans for a change.
Yep, “Day (weeks) late and dollar short”. “Slow Joe”.
