MSNBC Medical Guest on Feb. 14th: ‘Historically We’ve Seen These Types of Travel Bans and Restrictions Have Not Worked’

‘If folks are fearful of coming forward, it gets harder for public health to do tracing’

EXCERPT:

CAMPBELL (on camera): "China locked down a lot of its borders, and the United States is doing that to a certain extent. What’s the logic there? Will that work?"
MADAD: "Historically we’ve seen these types of travel bans and restrictions have not worked because one of the things that we don’t want to do is take away the public trust. And so if folks are fearful of coming forward, it gets harder for public health to do any contact tracing."
