Why some continue to dismiss the medical experts on this and act like all is normal, it’s ridiculous. Nobody is saying they hide in a bunker but if you’re not at least considering possible alternatives like a brief halt to air travel, you aren’t paying attention to the rest of the world and how this country is trending.

This way of thinking isn’t necessarily out of fear, it’s out of being realistic and looking at all angles.

Maybe if our own government hadn’t said just 2 weeks ago that “we are at 15 cases and soon be at 0,” and took meaningful preventive action then, we wouldn’t be where we are now.
