buy us a couple of weeks. we re punishing south africa for doing the right thing and telling other nations who want to sequence strains that they find, we re giving them disincentive. if they turn over variants, this is what s going to happen to them. i think this is a bad policy step. do you think it s a bad step or a good step? i think it s a good step that had to be taken. we don t want to discourage people from disclosing new variants but at the same time the u.s. has to take all steps to protect ourselves. i think the travel restrictions for the eight countries is necessary. i think the biden administration, if they re going that far, they should go even further meaning that everyone who are international travelers at this point, now that we know omicron is found in so many other countries, we should be quarantining and retesting all travelers.
