SEATAC, Wash. - Gov. Jay Inslee on Monday announced new international travel restrictions from the United Kingdom and South Africa and other nations that have reported cases of a COVID-19 virus that has mutated.

The governor made the announcement during a news conference that was livestreamed.

“What we’re announcing today is to try to reduce the rate of infection coming from these other countries, which will work in parallel with all of the individual efforts to keep our families and our loved ones safe this holiday season,” Inslee said.

It won’t end. They’ve found a bottomless well from which to fetch fear.

Immigration and border enforcement is exclusively the jurisdiction of the federal executive - POTUS. President Trump needs to shut this down and threaten that this is attempted then he will shut down every airport in Washington.

I’m not convinced there is a new mutated virus.

The weather is colder, and for some reason this bug thrives
under cooler weather conditions.

OR he can let it go a couple days until some of the other moronic governors chime in - Michigan, New York, surely there are others who will think this is a good idea. Maybe Biden will even be dumb enough to step in it and declare that this is a good idea.

A disease so dangerous you need a test to find out you’ve got it. A survival rate of 99.98 percent.

Nothing but a move toward totalitarianism.

You may be right. I’m thinking that it’s obvious now that Covid is manageable. This more dangerous strain is needed to keep the globalist destruction of the West at full speed. Very convenient for the globalist proponents of Agenda 21 and the Great Reset.

Perhaps the entire thing has been spread purposefully by aerosol dispensers. It wouldn’t be the first time.

Didn’t know that moron had any leverage in the federal government. When was he promoted? Or don’t they have to get elected anymore? Just start making laws for the whole country? Cool..

Since when does a governor have the power to ban international travel? States may clearly not make foreign policy decisions under our constitution.... at least under the old one.

I think he’s referring to coming in to Washington state but what good is that gonna do if other states aren’t?

Also why would anybody wanna go to that shitty state (Seattle mostly) anyway?

I think it’s “we morons”, but of course we cannot expect you, as a moron, to know that.
