Will a Border Wall help contain the Coronavirus?

Good article. Mexico is a big concern to me regarding the Corona Virus, considering the number of people that cross that border daily, legally and illegally. Mexico is a third world country with an almost non-existent health care system and also consider the fact that thousands of people funnel up through Mexico from South America and bottleneck in Mexico while trying to get into the United States.

It's just a matter of time before things start getting real bad in Mexico and the 'wall' will be the only thing that saves us.
 
But the virus is already here and comes in through ports and airports with most of the cases on the east and west coasts and few on the border, per the Johns Hopkins map. The containment ship has long since sailed in our country.

The title of the article days "will help contain". It doesn't say will contain.

With ports and airports being controlled entry points where entrants can be tested vs. thousands of illegals trying to get through a border every day which do you think is more controllable to test folks coming/trying to come in?

Is it best to have a substantial border barrier to "help" contain potential infected people vs an open border?

"that although it’s true a border wall won’t stop the coronavirus, it might help stop people who have the coronavirus from entering the United States undetected, which is the entire purpose of imposing travel restrictions during a global pandemic. "

Like the OP article says, the border wall won't stop the virus, and keeping it out of the country would be impossible anyway, but having the wall will be a deterent when, or if, the virus takes hold in Mexico.
 
If it’s air borne like I think it is, it won’t matter wall or no wall, only thing will be how Mexico handles the virus on there side, if they do it like everything else, which is hardly nothing, it will spread along the border states.

It is airbrone but its vulnerable to desiccation. Once in the air it has to find a suitable moist environment quickly, namely people, to survive & do its things, or it dries out and dies.

Clouds of corona virus just don't flow through the air or we would have gotten a bunch being down wind from China, or from CA, OR & WA state.
