Speaking to CNBC last night, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, a former head of the Food and Drug Administration, was asked if a travel ban could stop the new strain spreading to the US.”I think this is already in the US,” he said.”I don’t think that a travel ban at this point is going to prevent this mutated strain from coming in to the United States.”We’re going to have an epidemic that continues to build over the course of the next three or four weeks… and then we’ll start to see infection rates decline as we see vaccinations get rolled out.”
Fighting the good fight
