n0m, the posuk explicitly says the reason. This is not some kind of drosho, it’s right there in the posuk. I can only conclude that you’re a troll, and it’s a waste of time dealing with you. Go away.
RE, what are you on about now? We are not talking about deaths, we are talking about the increase in the number of confirmed cases of infection. That is caused entirely by testing. The more people are tested the more cases there will be. The cases discovered by testing healthy people are not dead, they’re not even sick, and they’re in no danger.
Charlie, stop lying. The ban on travel from China covered ALL foreigners; only US citizens and residents were allowed in, as of course they had to be. And the fact that you STILL denounce it as “racist” just shows what a fundamentally dishonest and bad person you are, how your sin’ah distorts everything you write. The disease was rampant in China. The Chinese government was not allowing people from Wuhan to go anywhere in China, but was letting them go and infect the whole world. And when Trump put a stop to that all the Democrats called him racist and insisted that all those infected people must be allowed to come and infect us, just so as not to be “racist”. Just as they all insisted we must go to Chinatown and to the Chinese New Year parades. At least they didn’t go as far as the Italian authorities who encouraged people to hug a Chinese person. Talk about rotzchim!
The ban didn’t extend to other countries because at the time the disease wasn’t known to be spreading there. And if he’d banned travel from Italy and Spain you’d have just accused him of even more racism.
As for the Queen’s powers, the fact that English kings could not impose taxes did not detract from their sovereignty. The taxing power was just not regarded as one of the perquisites of sovereignty. Parliament still served the king, not the other way around. It was the Glorious Revolution that finally said no, Parliament is sovereign, and can hire and fire kings. Then when Queen Anne’s last child died Parliament conducted a modern executive search for her successor, headhunted Sophie of Hanover, and negotiated a contract with her, which was codified in the Act of Settlement. The most important provision of that contract was to separate the Crown from the Queen; Sophie would not get the Crown revenues, but would instead be paid a salary like any modern executive. The Crown would be the government, which is the Queen as advised by her ministers.
The reason the Royal Assent is never denied to the acts Parliament passes is simply because the Assent is not controlled by the Queen, it’s controlled by her ministers, and since they also control the Commons (or they wouldn’t be her ministers) they naturally assent to everything it passes.
