    I like how you completely dodged what I just said. What is there to address about the blanket ban? A country is banning all travel from another country. It doesn’t get more “blanket” than that.

      Ah, and now the dishonesty. That is not what people mean when they say a blanket ban on travel and I’m sure you’re not stupid, so you know that.

      There’s a reason that the AP article linked above doesn’t use that term in this case.

      What is there to address about the blanket ban?

      I don’t know, how about something like, “okay, I didn’t mean ‘blanket ban,’ that was wrong of me.”

      But, of course, this is the internet and admitting your wrong is the worst thing ever, so I won’t be holding my breath.
