Sure but I was just commenting on how much attitudes to border closures have changed

If anything the US should have closed off travel from Europe earlier but it didn't stop the EU kicking up a fuss when they did do it only for them now to impose the same restriction on the States

yeah but Trump was all thinking ''economy first'' which was a huge mistake

if anything now, i can see borders between states also being a topic of if they should be closed or not, since the virus is now more in south, southwest of the country, just saying that could be an idea to prevent spreading the virus Nationwide again, since some had been improving like New York, New Jersey for example who had just been getting out of a peak

my point is, spreading awareness of how dangerous the virus is to the public is good in making people realize they need to stick to the rules, need to think like maybe i need to wear a mask for protection, or also thinking like keeping my distances from elderly relatives whilst visiting, so more spending time together with 2 metres apart outside for example

LBC had a super fit female triathlon/ Ironman athlete on a few days she was stricken down very quickly.. back off a training run felt great then an hour later was already dreadfully poorly ..even more worryingly 7 weeks later she’s still not back to training ..

Staff at US President Donald Trump's rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma earlier this month removed stickers intended to maintain distance between attendees, the Washington Post has reported.

A video obtained by the newspaper shows workers removing stickers placed on seats and designed to ensure that the crowd followed social distancing measures.

It's impossible to keep a handle on covid without having serious restrictions in place, but that will affect Scotland's economy massively. Will they allow an edinburgh festival next year? Will they allow people to enter the country without quarantine? If they insist on quarantine it will put them at a distinct economic disadvantage

Difficult decisions can't be avoided forever

By all accounts London is doing well also, but there are regional spikes but if Mayors refuse to lock down what can be done?
