the proposition is illogical for a number of uhhh reasoned calculations of viral evolution since "pre-alpha" generation, but not least of which "official" efficacy of current pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions to CONTAIN "silent spreaders" in all of Africa, Russia, and China.

Indeed, US press duly noted that Joe's ban of travel to and from the 7 (or 8) "hot spots" excludes US citizens. Evidently, Joe's experts are unconcerned about the virulence (transmissibility or "grave danger") of their EXPOSURE to either this SARS-CoV-2 variant or any other variant. I idly wonder though, when the feds will reveal the mandate to quarantine those repatriated Americans at US military bases for an unspecified period.
