False.

So you keep saying, but you're really not convincing anyone that you have a legitimate point.

Those people are on visitor visas.

And? The shape of the stamp in their passport doesn't change how contagious they have the potential to be. Anyone coming in - for any reason and from any place - should be isolating, and anyone who doesn't is a threat to public health.

I dont think anyone should be crossing any borders unchecked.

Checking doesn't amount to much, as much as it seems like a good idea. You'll catch the ones that are currently symptomatic, which is better than nothing, but you won't catch anyone that's incubating it and will become contagious at some point in the coming days. What's needed is two weeks of isolation upon arrival, regardless of test results or symptoms (well, unless symptoms necessitate hospitalization, obviously, though even then they end up isolated). That's the only way to actually prevent people from bringing in new cases.

Im glad to know that its basically only PotD that doesnt agree with me. Cant count how many people brought this exact story up today at work, and we all agree.

Well, if a bunch of your coworkers agree with you, then it must be a universal truth! How silly of PotD to suggest otherwise!

(That was sarcasm, by the way)
