It’s tempting...

Don’t you think that unless the entire globe did it, resumption of air travel to/from countries that didn’t would bring it right back to those that did.

I do think it could help in measured steps. It could disrupt the rate of community transmission - like a defensive delaying action. Buying time for a vaccine, and managing the number of people needing critical care at hospitals would be a welcome outcome.
