But when we consider what the Chicken Littles are not mentioning, it is fair to ask:

How seriously do the panic-stricken genuinely take this?

Given all of the sudden talk of "social distancing," "self-isolation," and "flattening the curve," one would think that everyone should be on board with bringing all immigration to a grinding and, because there are always diseases and viruses that pose threats to Americans, a permanent halt.

Americans from all walks of life, irrespectively of their political persuasions, should be demanding this.
The logic of "social distancing," "self-isolating," and "flattening the curve" inescapably precludes allowing, to say nothing of encouraging, more people into our country.
