Just my opinion, not an expert, but now that covid19 has everyone's attention and with the country being focused on the potential threat the virus poses to overwhelming our health care system: in areas where the apex has been reached (at present), I think we could return to work, on a continuing trial basis. Ideally our govt would have its act together enough to set up comprehensive testing (not there yet) and that would be a big help. And where people return to work, stores, restaurants, if they would put effort into practicing continued social distancing, maybe we could manage the number of cases. Still, with 40,000 Americans dead from this in just 1 month, wow, you would think people would not need any prompting from the govt to be careful. If an Arab terrorist has managed to kill 40,000 Americans in a month, we would have lost our minds. |

Singapore has extended its partial lockdown until 1 June. The measures - called circuit breakers by the government - include school closures and almost everyone working from home. Social gatherings are banned.
Hong Kong has extended its social distancing measures until at least 7 May. The region reported four new cases on Tuesday. Chief executive Carrie Lam warned: "This is not the time to be complacent. If we relax, the good work we have done will be in vain." Football clubs in South Korea will be allowed to hold practice matches behind closed doors from Tuesday, according to the K League. The season has already been delayed by two months due to the pandemic. On Tuesday, China’s state media said more than 4,106 people have been screened after two clusters of Covid-19 infections were discovered at hospitals there. Harbin is close to the Russian border and not too far from Suifenhe, one of the two hotspots that the government seems nervous about.

Coronavirus man-made in Wuhan lab: Nobel laureate -- https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...w/75227989.cms From the above article: Quote:
Coronavirus cases in New York likely came from Europe, studies say after sequence comparison -- https://www.euronews.com/2020/04/10/...ence-compariso Quote:
So, closing off travel from and to China (although the ban was so loose more than 40,000 person were still able to enter the US) and the very limited ban on travel from other nations apparently did little to stem the spread of Covid-19; the same could be true of the immigration ban the White House wants to impose now; will the ban also keep out travelers who are tourists, business travelers, etc.? If a ban is going to be imposed, it should not be a porous situation where the possibility of further contamination/contagion exists... <O>

Those forty thousand persons were US citizens that Uncle Sam did not want to leave over seas

No, not all of them were US citizens; many were foreign nationals and some actually flew in direct from Wuhan; almost 60% of that 40,000 figure were not US citizens.. In fact, the total of persons entering the Us since the imposition of the travel ban(s) is more like 430,000 persons... The porous nature of the travel ban and the laxity in enforcement and screening is detailed in the following article: 430,000 people have traveled from China to the US since the COVID-19 outbreak appeared – including nearly 40,000 who arrived after President Trump imposed travel restrictions -- https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-appeared.html Quote:

Nice that such things also can happen, and that some people can learn. My hometown's administration yesterday announced that from next Monday on covering mouth and nose with any kind of mask, filter or cloth beocmes mandatory i all shops, offices, poublic buildings, busses and trains, also on the public market in the open although they have scattred it quite far to increase distances between stands: the market now covers more than twice as much room than normally. Visitor numbers have gone down there, too, and by now I prefer it to buy some things than a closed supermarket hall with its stale air and ever-lasting clouds of aerosols. A second baker has shut some weeks ago, sign in the door says "Sickness". In my street, two people were picked up by the medics in full isolation gear, from two houses, strangers to me, but damn close to my place. I knew three names around my age, from three different countries since over 15 years, with whom i had "internet relations" with playing correspondence chess, discussing things and debating via emails, old-fashioned correspondence friends, so to speak. Their voices have fallen silent, forever. Father of an old girlfriend of mine is one of the victims dying in elder care homes. Myself and my parents so far have remained unhit (or so we think, if we were sick, we did not realise it). Still, the pandemic has already marked several impacts in my social vicinity, so to speak. And we have just begun and are just out of the starting block. One or two years more to come. Makes you thinking.

The german government mulls a new set of anti-Corona laws. Part of it is that testing capacities should be pushed with priority to doing 4.5 million tests per week.
