Additionally, since the past 10 years of pathogens aren't relevant, can we have a case on why the 1918 should apply here? If we have a high degree of confidence this will be similar to 1918, let's by all means use all our powers to completely shut down the country until it's stamped out. Even then, do we allow foreign travel to introduce this again or another one?



Sure, let's start for WA and CA, in particular that cruise ship on my home shores. Can Gov Newsom send them back? To another State? Not allow anyone to leave until there's 14 day days of infection free passengers? I'm all for surgically targeting high risk areas and demographics.
