Overheard at the airport:
"They let a plane full of Chinese land"
"Ugh! They should ban all flights from China"
"Hong Kong too, it's ridiculous"
WTF IS WRONG WITH EVERYONE

Serious question (not regarding the racism overheard): Isnt there something to be said for limiting travel from high-infection risk areas? Seems like large-scale containment of a highly contagious outbreak would be helpful? (In zero ways am I even knowledgable in this area).

Generally speaking the evidence doesn't support travel bans for entire regions. There's much better evidence behind limited travel exclusions and quarantine, which is what the WHO actually recommends
