Travel bans don’t do anything except delay getting it. They do more harm than good. https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/covid19-travel-bans-1.5495919
I read that. How do they know it doesn't work if nothing like this has ever happened before?The virus can't spread to countries if it doesn't come into the country. But it's too late for that now anyways.
That’s stunningly ignorant to think this is the 1st pandemic-level event.
I'm saying this is the first event where worldwide travel is being restricted due to a virus.
Travel bans range as far back in history as the Black Plague. More recently of course you may recall Ebola, SARS, and there are others.
Canada and everywhere else are restricting travel for a reason. People are cancelling vacations for a reason.
But you realize your statement that this is the first time this has happened is totally false.
There's never been a worldwide restriction on travel like this. Not that I remember.
The virus can't spread to countries if it doesn't come into the country. But it's too late for that now anyways.
Germany’s Health Ministry confirmed a report in newspaper Welt am Sonntag, which said President Donald Trump had offered funds to lure the company CureVac to the United States, and the German government was making counter-offers to tempt it to stay. Contacted by Reuters, a spokeswoman for the German Health Ministry said: “We confirm the report in the Welt am Sonntag.”Welt am Sonntag quoted an unidentified German government source as saying Trump was trying to secure the scientists’ work exclusively, and would do anything to get a vaccine for the United States, “but only for the United States.”
