Dr. Anthony Fauci is the top public health official in America. He was asked in an interview - should America close the border to travelers from the United Kingdom?
Dr. Fauci replied in a soft spoken voice - At this juncture, closing the border would be over reach. (TKL uses the world "over react").
He said that they should monitor the situation and decide later, based on a better knowledge of the mutated virus, whether it was necessary to close the border.
In making this statement, Dr. Fauci took into account the economic impact of closing the border to these travelers.
Basically, Dr. Fauci said that we do not know at this time if it was necessary to close the border. We should monitor the situation before taking any hasty action.
I agree with the approach recommended by Dr. Fauci. We should not over react to any risk. We do not know if it will become serious or not. We cannot, at this time, assume that it will be very serious and close the border.
My crystal ball asked me to send the video recording of the interview to our ministers (he did not want to call them 'insane', out of respect to them).
Do you agree?
