Travel bans effective only in the first phases of the epidemic: Study


Travel bans have been key to efforts by many countries to control the spread of COVID-19. But new research aimed at providing a decision support system to Italian policy makers, recently published in the 
Journal of the Royal Society Interface, suggests that reducing individual activity (i.e., social distancing, closure of non-essential business, etc.) is far superior in controlling the dissemination of Sars-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

“Not necessarily. If you want to convince me, answer my questions,” my husband said. “First, is it true that we have global warming? See how cold Texas gets and how much snow we are getting.”
“Scientists said these are caused by global warming! I can find out,” said my daughter.
“OK. Second, if global warming is true, is it caused by carbon dioxide or by human activities?
