Currently, 39 infectious diseases are notifiable in China, classified as A, B or C according to their epidemic levels and potential population threats. Groups A and B (total 28 diseases) represent categories of diseases with high risk of outbreaks or that are likely to result in rapid spread once an outbreak occurs.

Elaine Chao is the Sec. of Transportation. Who knows how much influence she would have on such a decision? Lots of ties to Chicom businesses.

Actually, don’t ban flights to China until Biden & Son have flown there to safeguard their lucrative business interests. Let them stay and get quarantined.

Any such ban should ONLY INCLUDE PASSENGER FLIGHTS. There is a large amount of high value trade that that takes place using air cargo. A cargo plane flies in, lands, has its cargo unloaded, has outgoing cargo loaded, the plane is gassed up and departs. That should continue. There’s very little chance of infection.

Disagree. Crews are a vector too. And if they become ill inflight, then we have to bring them into our medical facilities.

On the other hand, I think the damage is done now. If we are getting it, we’ve got it. Done and done. I just hope it is not severe here.

Not yet. They may be trying to get medical experts there but Chicoms are refusing all foreign assistance.

What if the surface of the items is covered with the virus?
Is it going to kill anyone to suspend flights for at least a month?

But Sander’s followers say “communism and socialism have just never been Done Right!! We know how to do it and it will work great!!”

How Many times does something have to fail before a person realizes...”Maybe this can’t be done right?”

Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys are spinning in their graves over what’s become of Vermont. Maybe they can be connected to turbines to get clean electricity.

If that’s near the Mojave Desert it will be interesting to study how long the virus survives in low humidity environments.

Let anyone travel to China. Just don’t let them travel back without a physical.
