megan ranney, are you surprised how fast the u.s. -- we woke up this morning, some people weren't even aware of this variant to new travel restrictions before the sun goes down. >> i think most of us were spending yesterday gathered around our thanksgiving table, giving thanks that we felt like we were coming to another phase of this pandemic. yeah, we woke up this morning seeing news of this new variant. i don't think biden had much choice in restricting travel. you look at the numberoer of other countries -- he really had his hands tied, but from a scientific perspective, i don't think this travel ban will do much. we already have seen that the virus has spread to many other countries outside of south africa. the ban is only around nationals of those countries. our citizens can still go back and forth. what would be much more effective is universal vaccination requirements for all air flights, right? or having quarantines when people arrive in the u.s. from other countries. neither of those are particularly politically palatable right now, but they would make a much bigger difference
