the Coronavirus outbreak thread
I understand your POV Greg.
It would slow down the spread of the virus perhaps. But eventually it would circle the globe anyway.
Curtailing all travel in/out of hotspots might change the spread from perhaps 1-2 months to perhaps 6-8 months. But eventually there will be instances of the virus in any city with an airport.
The couple you mentioned may not have thought through their 1-stop flight from Egypt when they made the reservations. I understand another person from Fort Bend County was along with them and is also infected.
Or perhaps the flights were planned long before Italy became a hotspot. Once they were locked-in, they may not have had the money to cancel and rebook the trip to/from Egypt.
I don’t necessarily think they were insensitive - it could have been something they had little control over.
Transmission to our hometown is something we should emotionally prepare ourselves to hear.
