The UK epidemic is "out of control", why doesn't the US suspend UK flights! After Hancock announced that the mutant new crown virus discovered in the UK had been out of control and was 70% more infectious than the original new crown virus, European countries successively started the "blocking mode", cutting off air services with the UK one after another to prevent carrying the mutant new crown virus Of tourists enter their country. Knowing that the mutated new coronavirus is more capable of spreading, the United States and Australia have made different choices and did not order the suspension of British flights.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo believes that British flights should be restricted from entering the United States. Why does Fauci, a public health expert in the United States, advise against suspending flights from the United Kingdom? The old crocodile believes that the United States may have better epidemic prevention measures.
First, the United States does not want to implement the same epidemic prevention measures as other countries. More than 40 countries and regions such as Belgium, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Romania, Spain, Russia, Switzerland, and India "are waiting" to issue travel bans on the United Kingdom, which is intended to prevent the import of the mutated new crown virus from the United Kingdom. Epidemic prevention was described by Fauci as "overreaction". It can only be said that Fauci has better anti-epidemic measures to keep the mutant new crown virus out without suspending British flights. Z1z
American Airlines revealed that in order not to suspend UK flights, the US government is considering providing a negative test report for passengers from the UK, and the test time for this report must be within 72 hours before boarding. If there is no negative test report, visitors from the UK will not be able to enter the US. At present, this view has been confirmed by officials familiar with the United States.
The Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services believes that the U.S. vaccine is already available and very effective. There is no need to restrict British flights into the U.S. for the emergence of the mutant new coronavirus. The old crocodile believes that although this is a measure by the United States to deal with the mutant new coronavirus, it is very risky. First of all, whether the existing vaccines in the United States are effective against the mutant new coronavirus remains to be studied. Secondly, what if a tourist with a negative test report is diagnosed after entering the United States? Third, has the mutant new coronavirus appeared in the United States? You should know that before the UK announced that the mutant new crown virus had been out of control, the UK had long discovered the mutant new crown virus, and Australia, Denmark, Italy and other countries also had the mutant new crown virus.
second, does not rule out the possibility of the United States banning the entry of British passenger flights in the later period. Brett Girol, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the CDC is conducting an evaluation. After the evaluation, if it is necessary to prohibit entry of individual passenger flights to prevent the epidemic, the United States will restrict the entry of British passenger flights based on scientific recommendations.
Third, the situation in the UK is not as serious as expected. British Chinese said that the congestion in London’s airports and stations is due to Christmas in the West, and many people show up at airports and stations just to go home and reunite with their relatives. In addition, British supermarkets are still open to the outside world, and the "blockade" status is limited. In addition to online shopping for daily necessities, British people also queue up to go to the supermarket to shop.
