If your point is that we should throw each and every one of these incompetent a-holes out of office, including Trump, then I'll agree with you. Isnt the topic here something about trying to restart economies? Isn't that good? Are people trying to be economists here? They want to claim macroeconomic knowledge greater then central banks and chief economists, Secretaries of the treasury? What is the argument here exactly? Is there one? You prefer the world stay closed? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would like to see some international coordination on things such as flight resumption, and if health certificates will be used, how obtained etc....there is tragedy on the horizon soon if not opened back up for business... at least in some limited coordinated way...soon...and Thailands Govt knows this just like the rest of the world does. that will be difficult. what is the value of a "no-covid19" certificate, when (assuming the test is 100% accurate) the holder can be infected any time after the blood/mucous sample is drawn? what value if possibly 7-10 days prior to the sample being taken, the person is infected but antibodies are not yet being produced? you could potentially be virus-free with a fresh certificate, fly into thailand, and be infected going through immigration control. with multiple strains and potential for more mutation of the virus, 14-day quarantines will be with us longer than we would like. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candide Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) There will likely be a few problems.... The first one is that recent information suggests that the % of asymptomatic people may not be high (likely not more than 5-6% of pop). If this information is confirmed, it means it will be a long time before herd immunity is reached. The other one is that there are still uncertainties about immunity: how effective, for how long?

Exactly, and that is why testing is worthless, unless you are testing for antibodies and it has been established that that in itself means no transmission. Sorry.

The Chinese New Year was early this year, IIRC it was 25th/26th January So Trump's clamp down on Chinese entering USA would have been too late to stop people travelling to USA for CNY It didn't apply to US Citizens / Green Card / Work Visa Holders who may have gone back to China to visit family for CNY and returned in early Feb so no impact there.

Popular Post Inn Between Posted April 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 14, 2020 Trump could almost single-handedly create the collapse of the USA as we have known it for a couple of centuries, splintering it into a number of different completely autonomous nations if he keeps up with the "us" against "them" attitude. I've never know a POTUS to consistently show such a contentious attitude toward the states. The man has proven again and again that his human values and judgement are seriously flawed and deficient. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the other bloke said - it is all over the internet - and twitter and facebook. The Dems and their Dem Admin in places like NY and Cal opposed Trump's ban and called him racist for restricting travel from China. But he couldn't stop all the exempts returning after the Chinese New Year in China and bringing it back with them. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
