Because they had a magic 8 ball to predict this outcome?

Given 98% of cases are internal spread, I just don't think it's warranted.

I don't think you need an 8 ball to predict that you shouldn't travel during this global pandemic -- especially in the past 6 months when it's all hit the fan.

Tough luck to those who get stranded, I say.

Totally agree! My comment was intended to those travelling for recreational purposes.

You can pick up new variants abroad though. That’s better discouraged.
