BREAKING: Russia bans Chinese citizens from entering the country due to coronavirus - Interfax

[tcrlaf]

OMG! Impeach Putin! How dare he separate Chinese families! This is obviously racist!!

Seriously though, this is an escalation. Russia had previously closed border points with China, now it is bannig ALL Chinese citizens from entry into the country.

[Skywise]

What horrible racists they are!

I wait for Star Trek Picard to make a few episodes about this horrible abuse of human rights!

[BigEdLB]

Putin acts rationally, with a troublesome ACLU type organization who wants to block our Prez

[NorseViking]

Maybe I don’t understand something but does any country actually allows Chinese entry at this point and why?

[Meatspace]

Putin will build a wall between Russia and China as well as Mongolia.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

It may be an overreach, but it should save lives.

[caww]

Have to say “smart man”.....lots of Chinese in and out of Russia these days.

[Leep]

Emotional walls?
He shouldn’t bottle up his feeling like that.

[Red Badger]

A little late..................

China is Russia’s biggest single export market. But it’s pretty incredible how Holland and Germany combined are bigger export destinations than China, despite having 5% the population of China.

No worse than a common cold, ummm, no worse than a seasonal flu, uhhhh, no worse than SARS, don't worry the heat of summer will kill it!

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

BUT...can he keep out infected comedians?

[guido911]

Damned racists

[Jane Long]

Someone, quick....please get this troubling and inhumane action, by RUSSIA, to Harrison Ford, so he can pretend to be triggered by it.

[little jeremiah]

Sane countries will do this.

[Revel]

If only the US was so bright. Because we are not far from having a huge outbreak here. It only takes one person under right circumstances, and then all heck breaks loose here.

[rdl6989]

Probably too late.

[null and void]

Say, something like a comedian in a crowded venue?

[null and void]

Time will tell.

[Revel]

The list is endless really.
