Also note that the rest of the eu citizens can freely enter the UK even now (and they can freely go anywhere within the eu)

As someone who lives in Poland, I believe that what President Trump is doing is the right approach, but it is a bit late - the virus is already in the USA.

Poland today (12th March) has 31 cases (out of a population 1/10 th that of the USA) and no deaths. The government has also acted late, but has shut down
1. All schools and colleges
2. all cinemas, theatres, operas, museums, night-clubs
3. recommended everyone who can work from home to work from home

The shutting down of flights may reduce the severity and it’s a good thing to do, even now

I'm using this site -- https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/countries-where-coronavirus-has-spread/

it shows that the UK has officially 456 cases and 8 deaths. Germany has 1966 and 3 deaths

You can use the graphic report here = https://cloudsonmars.com/en/koronawirus/

You are also correct - a British citizen could fly to Germany and back with no visa stamp and then fly to the USA

The thing is - there are viruses (virii?) and bacteria lurking among farm animals and also wild animals in temperature climates - bats, birds etc.) that can also start in the USA or elsewhere.

There always have been

Hoping to get the payroll tax cut approved by both Republicans and Democrats, and please remember, very important for all countries & businesses to know that trade will in no way be affected by the 30-day restriction on travel from Europe. The restriction stops people not goods.

Meanwhile...

OPEN FOR BUSINESS Britain won’t follow US with travel ban or school closures to stop spread of coronavirus yet, Chancellor says

POTUS needs to add the UK to our travel ban.

Is sickness an act of God?

I think of it more as a consequence of turning Godlessness. When nations turn their back to God, maybe He folds his arms and say "Ye are on your own."

I pray that America experiences a revival of faith and re-consecrations this nation to Our Lord.

If I understand correctly, Europeans can travel to Ireland, as it is part of the EU, without any customs confirmation. Then, because of the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, they can pass into the UK in the same manner. So the route is more circuitous, but anyone from Europe can still fly to the US via Ireland to UK movement.

The virus is an act of God and thus there is no liability for repayment
