Anonymous Coward User ID: 75031641 United States 03/12/2020 05:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Stupid question, but I have to ask it - does Friday midnight mean tonight at midnight (start of Friday) ~OR~ does it mean the end of Friday, which also takes place at midnight? Quoting: RuhRoh This is why I hate the term "midnight" - you never know if they're talking about the beginning of the day, or the end of one, since "midnight" means both. So fellows, what is it - do they have all day today and tomorrow to fly home, or just today only?? Friday midnight. End of Friday. 11.59 PM so all of today and tomorrow. Thanks for clearing that up. They should always say "11:59 PM" instead, makes it so much more clear. Midnight just means both - so you have to guess what day they actually mean. Regardless, I'm very glad I'm not in Europe right now! |

I'm talking about being clear when these travel bans start. If they ban travel from Georgia to Florida at midnight Tuesday, I need to know what f^cking day that is. They need to be CLEAR when these bans start - 11:59 PM on whatever day, that's clear enough for anybody to understand. You say "midnight" - you might be caught out a day early, or late, depending ... |

Eireann User ID: 73050092 Ireland 03/12/2020 06:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Trump declares Covid-19 travel ban from most of Europe, excluding Ireland and UK <snip> A statement on the White House website said: "For purposes of this proclamation, the Schengen Area comprises 26 European states: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland." "I'm confident that by ... continuing to take these tough measures, we will significantly reduce the threat to our citizens and we'll ultimately and expeditiously defeat this virus," he said. </snip> [link to www.rte.ie (secure)] _________ I'm unsure why we are excluded. We have a number of cases mostly in the east of the country around Dublin which is where the only major airport in the country is. The ban doesn't make any sense since anyone in Europe can just fly into the UK and hop a plane to the US. I'm only on my second cup of coffee and waking up to this news. I tried to stay up for the President's address last night, but 1 AM hit over here and I was gone. Damn timezones. Eireann~ I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. - Galatians 2:20 |
