WHY EUROPEAN TRAVEL BAN DOES NOT INCLUDE UK???

Trump hotels in UK?

Because it's all political, not practical. He like and rewards the UK, doesn't like and wants to punish the EU. All for show.

WHO pandemic plus President shutting EU travel = time to use some of the 20? snow days they have in the bank.

If the hospitals fill up, they have to triage patients based on the most likely to survive. That means if you have 2 people and one ventilator and one is a 30 year old with a family and one is a 65 year old empty nest smoker, who do you think gets treatment?

Sadly young people with comorbidities/underlying conditions are behind healthy older people in the line.

Old people and those with underlying conditions are screwed.

Can they put Sanjay Gupta in charge.? Please.

"Saudi Arabia bans travel to and from the European Union, Switzerland, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Sudan, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Eritrea, Kenya, Djibouti, and Somalia, due to coronavirus." - SPA

If it's spreading there, can we infer that summer heat is not going to provide any relief? Or is the bigger issue the humidity level?

We need to see.. weather only helps to kill it outside the host to slower the spread but people need to do the rest.

Ireland, which has 43 cases, is shutting down all schools and universities.

Their per capita rate is relatively low, especially for Europe, 8.7, but there is definitely a trend beginning for countries to avoid an Italy situation by taking non-pharmaceutical containment measures much more proactively.

Will note that none of the bolded countries have reported even one case, which is what makes the Saudi announcement so intriguing. Do they have credible anecdotal evidence of spread in those countries notwithstanding no official reporting?
