Might be time to seriously curtail travel to ensure she doesn't come knocking. On a side note When people speak of potential threats to economic development, every single possible checkmark is being taken care of for a basic Pest and Swot analysis. A major epidemic coupled with ongoing political instability in America and the Middle East coupled with trade wars and record high debt....might be time to start stockpiling for that doomsday nonsense people speak of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonMexico Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 1 hour ago, PhillipBlunt said: I have zero issue with any government temporarily halting travel from China, or at the very least the Wuhan region. Frankly, after how vague the Chinese government was with SARS, I don't trust them to deal with this effectively. Is China that lax on dealing with contagions and viral pathogens, or is this a symptom of way too many people in one place? Regardless, Canada needs to grow a set, and actually screen for sickness at entry checkpoints rather than taking someone's word for it. It's a waste of resources to screen people. China needs to do the right thing and shut down their border until there is a handle on this virus. We know why they won't though. Shutting down travel hurts business and we can't have that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A country has to have some sort of system to ensure that they don't get a whole slew of infected pouring in and spreading the virus. You do make a very important point that the best way to stop this is by the country of origin taking responsibility and closing their borders to sort it out. Sadly, like you said, greed is the motivating factor in modern society, and China is not immune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hope they'd look at whatever ticket they have and determine where they're traveling from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people might not fly direct from China, could be a layover. If they see a Chinese person looking a little under the weather I have no problem with them screening them to be safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public safety should be considered above all else when a virus is killing people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM_ Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 apparently this one isn't as nasty as the SARS outbreak, so at least there's that. I was doing some work in TO during that, pretty much all you can do is keep hand sanitizer with you and try not to get coughed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
