you missed my irony. maybe quarantine them in a stinky jail cell. i think everyone should be quarantined for 2 weeks upon arrival to prevent the virus from spreading - which is preposterous, hence just not allowing anyone to enter makes more sense.
the Chinese had to go to extraordinary measures to stop the spread. the solution won't be any different just because we're Jamaican, America, or Italian. person-to-person transmission has got to stop long enough for the infections to play out, which would take about a month.
oh wait, what would that do to the dow jones industrials index?
