It is not just that they haven't observed it in New York yet (or the United States, I believe), but in the place where they first observed it - South Africa (and/or Botswana) - I thought that they said the symptoms were mild/asymptomatic. I.e., basically a low grade cold (or nothing).

And they want to jump through hoops over this?
As others noted, this is just Government continuing to try and stomp on our collective necks.

Sounds as though it will move fast once it gets here. Remember NYC not like other places in the US. She is right on this.
