One of my old college roommates lives in London, Ontario and she said they should put up a wall to keep Americans out of Canada. I completely agree. I think she was kidding, but still.

If I had to guess, it will probably happen in the next few days.
For once, the conversation over closing the US-Mexico border is being driven b Mexican health officials who say they are considering shutting out Americans to keep coronavirus out of their country.
There are currently more than 2,000 cases of the virus in the US and it is spreading rapidly. Forty-three people have died from it.
By contrast in Mexico, there have only been 16 confirmed cases and no deaths.
At a press conference on Friday, health minister Hugo Lopez-Gatell said: 'Mexico wouldn't bring the virus to the United States, rather the United States would bring it here.
'The possible flow of coronavirus would come from the north to the south.
'If it were technically necessary, we would consider mechanisms of restriction or stronger surveillance,' he said.
If I had to guess, it will probably happen in the next few days.
