The first thing when CNN talked about will be hearing from WHO soon. I thought is this an Abbott and Costello skit or something out of Dr. Seuss.
But it is no longer a laughing matter with all the deaths in Mexico. Follow the coverage here at the Post.
From that article today a representative from WHO said:
Keiji Fukuda, the WHO’s assistant director general for health security and environment.
“At this time, containment is not a feasible option,” Fukuda said. “This virus has already spread quite far.”
“With the virus being widespread,” he said, “closing borders or restricting travel really has very little effect in stopping the movement of this virus.”
I’m sorry but I don’t get saying that at all.
How did infected people get to Scotland and Spain and Israel and New Zealand.
Did they walk there? No.
Did they drive there? No.
Did they take the train there? No.
But they did take a plane.
Everyone single one of the cases outside of Mexico so far have been related to people traveling in and out of Mexico City by plane. Why not stop all flights in and out of Mexico City?
Would it completely stop the virus from spreading? No.
But it seems to me this would reduced the ability of the disease to spread to other countries especially where there are no cases currently.
