I find it funny that certain countries started banning travels from England after detecting cases of coronavirus with a mutation that changes basically nothing to the situation.
They learned absolutely nothing. By the time you detected the new form, it already spread to several countries and you merrily let those off the travel ban ( WuFlu was found in pneumonia patients samples in France in December 2019 ).
If you actually care to keep this out, have the means, authoritarianism and functional brain, by the time the virus is found it's time to shut all travel, agressively track any case and forcefully quarantine them and their contacts.
Then you may possibly succeed, like Taiwan, or struggle for months with mixed results semi-fail, like South Korea.
We are in this mess because politicians are spineless cowards who decide policy based on the ramblings of journalists.
If they lock things down too early the journos cry xenophobia. If you don't lock it down because it's too late they cry "you're killing everybody!". Policy is being dictated by emotionally driven retards with a glorified blog. Thus we end up with a schizophrenic mess that achieves nothing.

It's actively worse than nothing usually, it's impressive how much they can fuck shit up pandering to metaphorical retards with megaphones.
