  Considers?? WTF this is how we got Covid on our shores anyways.. We already have a surge going on here do we need to add more to that?? Fucking hell.
context: Oh neat. 
  Just in time for Lunar New Years >
  
  This sounds very familiar >
  
  Well it is a yearly holiday >
  
  Maybe on the moon! >
  
  Is it March of 2020 again? I'm not sure I can stomach living through those years again... >
  
  Always has been. >
  
  Still the same number of American pandemic deaths every week:
  /r/CoronavirusUSNotOver >
  
  Like, everyone:  "But Americans have COVID fatigue..."
  Smart people: "Um, better than Long-COVID chronic fatigue, brain fog, and heart failure, right?  Masks and vaccines aren't hard." >
  
  Not even Covid. For 2 covid years we haven’t had flue or cold. I am all for it. 
  Ppl should stop treating masks as “I am afraid” and do like Japanese - “I am wearing mask because IAM sick or feel under weather but have to travel  so I am sorry and I protect you” >
  
  
  "On one flight, which landed at the city's Malpensa Airport on Boxing Day, 52% of passengers were found to be positive for Covid, la Repubblica reports."
  
  Why did we ever get rid of testing before travelling? This probably isn't even good for the Airlines aswell, as they'll have sick employees who can't work. >
  
  Business. The economy > everything else. >
  
  I don’t think you understand what is included in “the economy” if you differentiate it from “everything” >
  
  I don’t understand China here, they are at the beginning of a massive Covid wave and they now start to allow international travel for its citizens? 
  Something very sinister about this decision. >
  
  Make it look like everyone has the same problem to save face. >
  
  Well it’s simple, add the hurdles back to anyone who has been in China for the last 14 days >
  
  “Considers”?!?!
  I'll go ahead and make the executive decision and say, put the restrictions on, ffs. >
  
  They probably put them back on after the first few thousand Chinese people landed >
  
  Yes but be sure to waste time thinking about it. 🙃 >
  
  Wait I thought this was racist? Why would Joe Biden do this to these poor Chinese people? >
  
  Yep. Would be the exact same thing Trump did in 2020.
  Absolutely pointless when they could just go to say Vancouver instead, get those folks infected, and now Canadians who aren't being restricted will still carry it across. >
  
  It's not like we don't have a shit ton of covid here already. Arguably, this is worse than the initial travel ban because the cat has been out of the bag for years and no one wanted to do fuck all about it. Containment is impossible >
  
  Wasn't this sort of thing considered racist three years ago? >
  
  You dont understand. If the Republicans do it, it's racist. If the democrats do it, it's a public safety issue. Repeat ad nauseum. >
  
  I seem to remember something like this in 2019 being called racist. I wonder what has changed. >
  
  But democrats are considering it now so it's not racist. >
  
  Should have been done in 2019 >
  
  The U.S. didn't have a president then. >
  
  Um so we are still pretending we got shit under control here? lol. >
  
  There is enough in US. Just not to add more carriers >
  
  “Considers”? 🙄 Can we maybe just actually do something proactive before it’s too late to be useful? For once? >
  
  Should’ve already been put in place. This is ludicrous. >
  
  Lol I'll just wait here for the calls that Biden is a xenophobe and racist if they do this. ☺️ >
  
  It's not racist now because it's (D)ifferent >
  
  I mean you joke but it’s kinda true. When a republicans wants something done it’s typically from a place of malice, discrimination, and ignorance. I don’t mind saying it because they’ve consistently demonstrated this over the years. >
  
  Makes sense. Aren't they scrapping travel restrictions during record numbers? >
  
  I think it sounds like a good idea
