No one is advocating against travel bans to be "nice" or "generous" to China or anyone else. They're saying the data and our past experiences indicate that a travel ban is a bad move.

So please stop sending me mean messages querying my priorities. My priorities lie in using our resources to stop the outbreak, not in harmful political theatre.

If the down-side is that China’s economy will suffer but the up side is that we may slow the spread, allowing more time for vaccine to be developed and tested, possibly saving lives of vulnerable people around the world, I’m still arguing to restrict travel.

I apologize
@pegj_ Take it from someone who lives in a country with enough outbreaks in one month to last you a life time. They don't work. We don't use them and we survive. You will be fine once you replace fear with facts. - Još 2 druga odgovora

Even a perfect quarantine'd help only in slowing down the incidence, we've shown it in 2012 & published later a paper using real mobility data from Ivory Coast : https://www.nature.com/articles/srep10650 … Hint: we see the outbreak and act when it's too late & human flows spread infection away 1/

from its epicenter. Nevertheless, quarantine allows to gain time: longer the time higher the chances to develop a vaccine and disseminate information policies to hinder the subsequent spreading. Therefore travel bans are the only effective way to give us time to fight & win 2/2

@TheEUObserver Thanks for the link. It's interesting, and in fact yesterday another scientific paper in the leading medicin journal The Lancet was published. Three scholars from the University of Hongkong, came to the same conclusion on mobility reduction. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30260-9/fulltext …pic.twitter.com/etPaZFIl3e

i thought one goal was to spread the epidemic over a longer period, so the peak number of people infected is lower (area under curve same) so you have less strain on medical resources to treat those ill and therefore more survive?

An obvious benefit. Also buy time for vaccine and treatment R&D.
