    They interviewed University professors who work and live in the USA.
    So if you are thinking they did it to make the USA or orange man look bad...........no,you are wrong.
    All depends on how big the outbreak will become ..........

    Problem with that ban was 2 fold.

    It let US citizens return in a uncontrolled way.(remember the pictures at O'Hare airport)

    It did not include UK or Ireland.
    (By that time it was allready clear Trudeau's wife had caught the bug on a visit to London,meaning the UK was allready unsafe)

    What do you think could have been done better? You can't just not let people return to their homes and family.

    College professors.... It was agenda based, not reporting. Be safe out there and abide by the guidelines to minimize the spread.

    That simply isn't true. What is happening is a run on items. This is simplistic, but say a store sells 100 items per day. They're able to stock 100 items per day and people need 100 items per day. What has happened is a run, and panickers are buying 200 items per day, but still only need 100 items. The store still can only stock 100 items.

    The store where my son and daughter work have started emergency hiring. They're trying to keep up, and they would if people stopped panic buying.
