In the long and great history of this country, has there ever been a more sciencey, scien-terrific, and science-based administration than this one?
The Biden administration is preparing stricter testing requirements for all travelers entering the United States, including returning Americans, to curb the spread of the potentially dangerous omicron variant, according to three federal health officials.
As part of an enhanced winter covid strategy Biden is expected to announce Thursday, U.S. officials would require everyone entering the country to be tested one day before boarding flights, regardless of their vaccination status or country of departure. Administration officials are also considering a requirement that all travelers get retested within three to five days of arrival.
In addition, they are debating a controversial proposal to require all travelers, including U.S. citizens, to self-quarantine for seven days, even if their test results are negative. Those who flout the requirements might be subject to fines and penalties, the first time such penalties would be linked to testing and quarantine measures for travelers in the United States.
Tell me for real: Can you even handle all that science? Can you possibly even begin to deal with how scientific it all is??
Why stop there, though? Why not require travelers to self-quarantine for 14 days? Or 21? Out of an abundance of caution, of course.
And honestly, it doesn't seem at all untoward to insist that anyone who comes (or returns) to the United States be required to undergo hourly COVID tests for the rest of their natural lives.
We gotta flatten the curve, people! By any means necessary!
