> Breaking New: Just as I'm writing this, Europe is "angry with US" over travel bans. Apparently, they're still in denial over there.

We are not angry about the travel ban per se, more the blatantly political nature of it. A ban on travel from hotspot Italy would seem reasonable, but why a ban on Schengen Area? Why not all Europe, including UK and Ireland? The Schengen UK border is currently open, and UK has comparable infection rates.

The early days are when it is best bring in travel restrictions: maybe the USA should consider closing it's inter-state borders to stop the spread ? Or are they too precious !
And I am not aware of any measure the UK and Ireland have taken that are better than the Schengen countries and there is no limitation on travel between UK, Ireland and Schengen.
But blocking travel to/from Italy would seem a more reasonable idea.

> Germany's Merkel said herself: nothing "we" can do, 60-70% are going to be infected.

Did she really say there is nothing 'we' can do: do you have a link? I thought that she just warning that without impunity or a vaccine then up to 60/70% is unavoidable. What should be done differently ?

Comment Illusion / storytelling (Score 1) 435

- Despite what many cynics think the story telling comes first for most people: 3D is a gimmick which at best adds a small delta to the experience of some people.
- It is not even real 3D: it is an illusion (you can not look behind a character by moving your head for example).
- As a reference remember that even colour took a long time to become mainstream in both film and TV. Add the colour is not an illusion.
