    This op-ed by my colleague is essential reading and forcefully, logically, and accurately describes why travel bans are not the way to combat

    Nigerians represent one of the most successful immigrant communities in the United States, by any standard. But I wouldn’t expect Trump or Stephen Miller to grasp this fact. This move makes zero sense. None.

    Flight cancellations between Africa and China could cause a big economic hit. Tourism industry especially. Whilst most trade is raw materials out of Africa in huge ships there are commodities including agricultural produce e.g. Kenyan tea/ Rwandan coffee that are flown to China.

    The way military officials describe 50+ African countries as a monolith, and great power competition playground, is sad and poor strategic messaging.

    Wow. Leave it to to stir what inner patriot remains in this cynical Gen-X-er. “This proceeding is our response.” (To allegations of hypocrisy by politicians in other countries when we lecture on politically motivated investigations.) 🇺🇸

    Ditto here too: "If there is widespread community prevalence of this virus, there is likely a significant severity bias in case reporting."

    "The data...suggests this jumped no earlier than October 29, which would give the virus an almost 2 month head start to spread comingled in the flu season. The Makona variant of Ebola Zaire...circulated for 3mo before notice in Guinea." Ace from

    “Outbreaks of new viral diseases are like the steel balls in a pinball machine: You can slap your flippers at them, rock the machine on its legs and bonk the balls to the jittery rings, but where they end up dropping depends on 11 levels of chance as well as on anything you do.”

    “I'm feeling like I'm trapped," said Abel, an Ethiopian student at Wuhan University, one of hundreds of Africans with little chance of escaping the lockdown. Angering Chinese or their country's authorities may lead to retaliation, like loss of scholarships

    It's also likely that China's detained Muslims won't get good medical treatment and that the China and Xinjiang authorities will cover up the crisis just as they cover up everything else related to their internment of 1 million people for being Muslim.

    That Pompeo somehow thought he'd trip up over Ukraine—a massive territory with a distinctive shoreline and a pivotal geopolitical position—really just speaks to the caliber of people running the country right now. He thought that was a hard one. And that's insane.
