ICYMI, on Friday five US Republican senators asked President Joe Biden's administration to ban travel between the United States and China after a spike in Chinese respiratory illness cases.

In a letter to US President Biden the senators
- "We should immediately restrict travel between the United States and (China) until we know more about the dangers posed by this new illness"
The Republican senators may be in danger of being accused of overreaction and ramping up fear. I imagine they'd argue that are being cautious. You can decide.
The admin responded:
- "We are seeing seasonal trends. Nothing is appearing out of the ordinary. ... At this time, there is no indication that there is a link between the people who are seeking care in U.S. emergency departments and the outbreak of respiratory illness in China."
