If they'd prevented folks coming from
outside the United States that might
be carrying disease from entering,
there wouldn't be any conversations
such as this.
There wouldn't be any masks, no
school and business closures, no
medical shortages of any kind.
Those that proved out to be healthy
after a quarantine period could be
released and allowed to go about
their business. The proven infected
people would be detained until they
got better or did not.
There's no good reason for ever
letting disease on these shores
