Yeah, but most of the infection sites aren't coming from the "invaders"... they're coming from citizens of the country traveling to hotzones and coming back. So, unless you can convince people not to rush home to be "safe" and ride it out wherever they are... well, nothing is going to stop it. Not just here, but everywhere. Once the virus gets in, closed borders aren't going to stop anything. It may very well slow the thing down, which helps a lot, but it's not a solution for keeping things out.

In the end, it's going to be preparedness for pandemics that's going to limit the death toll, so building crisis-ready hospital facilities close to borders, mobile testing/treatment solutions, and funding for such infrastructure that will make the most difference.

I realize that a large chunk of the population doesn't want to spend the money, but I know where it can come from. You and I will never agree on that part.

Really? That's your big take away?

Meanwhile, Trump today -

"I want them to be more appreciative"..“I say, ‘Mike, don’t call the governor of Washington; you’re wasting your time with him. Don’t call the woman in Michigan. It doesn’t make any difference what happens.’"

Phenomenal demonstration of leadership in crisis.

I remember when we went to war in Iraq and troops didn't have adequate protection or equipment to find the weapons of mass destruction that were never there, another Donald, Donald Rumsfeld said, "5 Days, 5 weeks, or 5 months...but it certainly wont last longer than that".

On equipment Rumsfeld said,
"You go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time," Moreover, he said, adding more armor to trucks and battle equipment did not make them impervious to enemy attack. "If you think about it, you can have all the armor in the world on a tank and a tank can be blown up," he said. "And you can have an up-armored Humvee and it can be blown up."

But as long as they keep out the illegals, carry on.
