I have mocked the anti-maskers and especially anti-vaxxers, but this crosses a line on the other end of the spectrum.

I would only support an actual ban on mobility if it were to quarantine the virus in one place, like if the Chinese had locked down Wuhan before it managed to get out.

That ship has sailed of course. It’s all over the damn place, so there is not much to be gained by travel bans.

Travel bans are one of the most visible actions politicians can take and this is all about politicians doing visible things for populist reasons.

The Chinese did lockdown Wuhan....internally. They prevented Chinese from moving in and out of Wuhan while letting the international flights continue.

[_-david-_]

They did that after it had already spread out of Wuhan.

And all those other countries let international flights come from Wuhan. Countries aren't forced to accept inbound flights.
