so of course it's spreading everywhere else, at least in countries too chickenshit to enact air travel bans except for cargo. That wouldn't have stopped it completely. but it would have slowed it down.

We were never going to stop any of this, it had started to spread around the world before China discovered it, but we could have slowed it down a lot.
