| Bandorr said: So trump is banning all travel FROM Europe for 30 days. UK excluded. So you can go to Europe, and you can come from UK. Kinda like someone telling you to not use the front door - but the side door is ok. This a deal worked out with Boris? Or done to punish him? |
Stupidity will kill us all in the end. Not this virus, but it is inevitable :/

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) had already put in place “enhanced” screening for travellers crossing at land, rail or ferry on March 5 — for instance, referring those who recently travelled to Iran or who are ill for additional screening.
The CBSA refused to confirm it is reviewing policies regarding land border crossings, referring questions to the Public Health Agency of Canada. The health authority did not respond to specific questions. A spokesperson for Public Safety Minister Bill Blair, who is responsible for CBSA, did not immediately provide comment.
But in a morning press conference Wednesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau acknowledged that with hundreds of thousands of people crossing the border every day, the U.S. is “a real potential vector of transmission.”
“We continue to engage extremely regularly with our counterparts in the United States to ensure that we are handling as best we can the spread of this virus,” Trudeau told reporters in the National Press Theatre.
“We will continue to monitor, to co-ordinate to ensure that what we are doing has as minimal impact both on Canadians’ health but also on the growth of our economy (as possible).”
So basically nothing... They are watching the news, good job! not.
