It seems everyone wants everyone else to be locked down but not them.
Ending the importation of frivolous non-essentials items should done in addition to the crusade against travel not instead of. If the goal is reducing the importation of the virus regardless of the amount then eliminating the importation of frivolous non-essential consumer goods would be as good a place to start as int. travel from the tiny fraction of travelers which pale in comparison to the 30,000 trucks and $1B in goods cross the border every day without comment. Imagine the reduction in cases if that number was, for example, reduced by half but that's unlikely however as it's all about optics rather than science or reason.
