U.S ban foreign visitors who have been to China within the last 2 weeks.
Why not blanket ban visitors from China as well? And how is this to work? A ban from boarding the plane to a person having visited China in that period/rolling 2 week period? Which ok fair enough would prevent passenger from infecting other passengers during the flight. Or is the ban enforced at the immigration desk allowing the infected passengers to already have infected a plane full of people who are allowed to proceed into the country without quarantine?

Australia is doing the same it appears.
From what I can gather foreign nationals who have been to China recently will be refused entry to the US so presumably airlines will begin to deny boarding to foreign nationals on flights departing China and elsewhere if the airline is aware of a passengers travel history and on arrival I assume USCBP is doing a more intense line of questioning and looking into travel history a little more deeply. Airlines wont want to risk fines so easier for airlines to deny boarding in China to any foreign national. Connecting passengers would be trickier though. They would never be able to get away with denying USC from entry so no point in even trying that but USC who have been to Wuhan area will be subject to 14 day quarantine. US is also only permitting flights from China to 7 US airports which should help with screening. US airlines have begun to suspend service to/from China so fewer and fewer flights as these suspensions take place. Demand has dropped and crews are refusing to fly to China so airlines really have no choice at this point. |

I have never been to China so I don't know anything Chinese border controls. How can they tell if you have been to China? Is a chinese passport stamp similar to a UK/US passport stamp with dates on it or is it all in chinese writing which most people could not read. And what would stop a person from getting a new passport with no chinese stamp in it?
China doesn't come across as a country that is lax on stamping passports say like Canada is. |

Looking at images online, China's passport stamps say China in English so that makes it pretty easy, many countries citizens need a visa to enter China so there is looking for visa records within a passport to see if there is one for China.
China doesn't come across as a country that is lax on stamping passports say like Canada is. We are cruising from NYC to Southampton in April and have not been near China. The virus is pretty contained to be fair and I don't think things will get more drastic in the west. The UK will not do a Chinese travel ban even though we are out of Europe now or almost out we should do though to give us that extra layer of security. |

One way or another the Chinese and their viruses will manage to eventually wipe out the rest of us

If a serious novel virus where to emerge, one that has a high mortality rate, you better believe that shutting down borders and ports of entry is one of the first things all governments will do.
