The Koreans seem to be getting the upper hand by massive sanitizing.
but I just read on the internet that the virus is hiding within the hand sanitizer now.

Trump announced starting this Friday he will suspend all flights to and from Europe for 30 days, UK excluded. Trump said his quick action to suspend flights from China early was beneficial to our nation and the failure of Europe to suspend flights was wrong and the spread of the virus in America is coming from Europe.

Trump said Americans health is priority and he will help those financially hurt by the virus. Based on his proposals, he will provide over 50 billion dollars work of assistance.

WTF is wrong with ya’all?
have you all gone insane?

the key to surviving the apocalypse is right there in the data in plain sight!!!!
in the Wuhan statistics....

only 2.3 % of the people who contacted the disease, were age 18 or YOUNGER!!!!
and the younger you are, the less severe the disease will be...

so just hire some beautiful 18 year old Russian girls
to be your personal shoppers
and in exchange for supporting them financially...
they will provide you with food or ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED!!!

guys who can self quarantine on a nice sized boat at the marina, will freakin have it made
as long as ya got plenty of groceries from the magazine and plenty of cash

I actually prefer to be left alone by Russians anyway unless they're staricks who were like in Stalingrad or something...
but that experience will never happen to me again, I know sadly...

so yeah, interviewing deavotchkie again...
I feel like disinfected blonds this time

Yep :D Hear that Mobe, the US is banning flights from the EU, the E f*cking U. Trump rightly reckonises that's it's the EU's fault that it has acted to slowly and once again incompetently in taking action to tackle the virus within its member states.

Now fortunately we have left the EU which has both helped us to deal with the situation better hence he far lower number of infections than EU members and means we aren't subject to the EU travel ban :D

He only suspended flights from Europe not to Europe.

The virus can't live outside the body for very long

It can live outside the body for up to 9 days depending on the conditions.

You are correct. That is a good thing so European tourists currently in America can finish their vacation and get back home. I wonder how American tourists are going to get back home. The few planes that will fly before the ban will take effect may not have enough seats for the mass wanting to get home.

Also, I wonder why Trump gave the UK an exception to the ban. Does he know that UK's infection rate is and will remain much lower than other European nations?

Another sign this is a super virus.

probably politics of some sort,  or he wants a favor, or he wants to further promote the separation of europe and the UK.

FT, I think we are beyond politics now. This is about saving American lives. If we see a spike in UK's infections, Trump will ban flights from the UK. If America's infections spike uncontrollably, I expect all of Europe to ban flights from America.

You can't be beyond politics with TDS. ;(

However I 100% agree. All or nothing approach even with May being when I see my daughter.

I'd think we would be beyond politics, yet it is odd to exclude the UK so I suspect Trump is thinking ahead a couple steps, and gambling.   It makes no sense to leave them off the list except if you are looking at it through an angle other than the potential risk to americans.

US travelers will now face 2 weeks isolation when travelling to South American nation of Argentina.  Colombia and Peru also banning arrivals from certain nations.   

Argentina, Colombia, Peru to isolate travelers from virus-hit nations 

Argentina, Colombia and Peru on Wednesday announced that travelers from the countries worst-affected by the new coronavirus would be isolated on arrival.

Argentina was the first country in Latin America to register a coronavirus-related death on Saturday, with Panama announcing another on Tuesday.

Buenos Aires announced a two-week isolation period for people arriving from China, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Japan, South Korea and the United States.

I was reading more of the articles and it is not flights that are banned, people from EU countries are banned, US citizens, legal residents ... are allowed to return during the 30 days. It depends if the airlines start doing massive cancellations.  Unfortunately I am currently in Ukraine and I am scheduled to return in 2 weeks.  I tried calling Lufthansa and received a recorded message saying please call back due to extreme call volume and the call was terminated.  It should be interesting to see what happens.

Ukraine is not on the sh!t list. Found the information in the link below from those in charge of the border. Even non Europeans travelling though certain European countries would be refused entry into America. The ban does not apply to Legal permanent residents and American citizens as you mentioned. So your only worry now is if the airline will cancel your flight due to lack of passengers. My guess is they'll cancel some flights and put those passengers on another flight that isn't cancelled to make a full plane. Keep in mind, you won't be flying until 2 weeks from now. If more European nations have uncontrollable outbreaks like Italy is having, flights throughout Europe may be restricted. If offered to come home sooner, you may want to consider it.

My, 'Trampu' is banning folks who are not US nationals ( or have residency for the US) from flying to the US if a Schegen passport holder...


But he has excluded NON Schengen nations?

'Great'....

What is to stop Marcel from France....or Marcello from Italy arriving in the UK or IRL and flying to the US?

Cluebat: They are not stamped in to the UK/ IRL.

Perhaps, those two nations share immigration data?...

OK...

Marios from Cyprus..

He is not Schengen, but an EU passport holder....

He was in Italy within the last 14 days and came via the the UK to the US..

I seriously doubt the US shares data with Cyprus.

If someone wants to circumvent this ban...I see lots of ways they might..



It is illogical.

Most won't bother to try & circumvent it. The passport holders country of origin is shown on the front of the passport. Odds are those from EU member states will be rejected entry on arrival in the US.

Italy is likely to close all flights in & out soon. They are going downhill fast on this one. Glad I'm not stuck in Italy, just wait until things turn ugly there.

Trench,

If you mean where they were born..it should be meaningless.

SC was born in what is now Tadjikistan..

She has not been back there for more than half her life...

Your post up thread demonstrated further cluelessness.

Be a good boy and observe and learn rather than feeling the need to prove to most of us your 'knowledge' of border 'control'..

Reckon this move by Trump & hence the US could push some airlines to go under.

Still think off all that carbon saving, no whinging from environmentalists there for a while :D
