    On what date did Trump state that flights to and from China will be banned?

    He declared a national emergency and then jumped on twitter at nearly every opportunity and told millions and millions of people there was nothing to be worried about, that it was going to go away, and that the concern over the virus was a Democratic hoax.

    All of his actions need to be considered, not just those one or two things that he managed to do right.

    I agree, yes you can still get round trips from US to China on civilian aircraft. And Trump lied in January about banning flights to and from China

    Trump lost the election on two different days. Feb 26th:
    "And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done."

    March 6th.
    ""Anybody that needs a test gets a test; they're there, they have the tests, and the tests are beautiful,"

    This isn't some disaster that's only affecting Puerto Rico. There's going to be a lot of people who die because we completely blew it in the early stages. Without a strong economy to run on, how does Trump recover from those lies? Obvious answer: he doesn't.

    You said that Trump banned flights before one American death. Face it, Trump lied and you believed him. The sad part is you still believe he told the truth even when acknowledging that flights were definitely possible last week. Flights are still possible now as the US has approved flights after 8th March

    Google it. Trump banned flights from china January 31st and he was called a racist and a reactionary by the left.

    "Any US citizen who has traveled in China will undergo health screening upon entry into the country and will be asked to self-quarantine for 14 days. US citizens who have traveled to Hubei province, where the virus originated, will be held under mandatory quarantine for 14 days after they return to the US. Based on the latest available data, 14 days is the longest estimate of the time it takes for people to develop symptoms after they’re infected with the virus. It is still not clear how easily the virus can spread from one person to the next, although preliminary data suggests that people who do not have symptoms can still infect others.

    All incoming flights from China will be restricted to seven airports to consolidate passenger screening and evaluation: John F. Kennedy International Airport, Chicago O’Hare International Airport, San Francisco International Airport, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, and Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu. "

    https://www.theverge.com/2020/1/31/21117403/trump-coronavirus-ban-travel-non-us-citizens-china

    "In the wake of China's coronavirus outbreak that has infected over 10,000 people and killed 300 globally, President Donald Trump ordered a travel ban targeting China on January 31.
    Coronavirus US-China Travel Ban Affects Student, Wo…
    observer.com/2020/02/china-coronavirus-trump-travel-ban-affect-us-f1-h1-vi…

    "
    You’ve could have heard Trump imposed a travel ban to China: foreign nationals who’ve been in China within the last 14 days won’t be allowed to enter the US. And you’ve heard jokes, seen memes, or made comments about the Chinese eating dogs, cats, bats, and any number of exotic foods.

    People are joking that it’s called the ‘Kung Flu’ and other such trivializing nonsense. "


    "Guess what? All these things are racist."

    Now go away. Enjoy your trip to china.:xd:

    You and yours have been praising Obama handling his health crisis through this tread. But everything can be qualified and quantified. So, If President Trump handles his crisis better than Obama did (less dead Americans, less infected and hospitalized Americans than during Obama crisis), for his efforts and achievements to save American lives, will you support:

    Re-electing President Trump
    Awarding him the Presidential Medal of Freedom
    Awarding The Congressional Medal of Honor
    Nobel Prize
    Adding his likeless to the Mount Rushmore
    Changing the Constitution to allow Trump to be the President for life
    Renaming Washington DC into Trump DC

    I got a feeling, thousands less Americans will die due to Trump' efficiently handling this crisis. So, if my hunch is correct, will you support all of the above?

    Funny how things fade from memory.

    If the current WH occupant MUST own corona, former occupant Obama MUST own swine flu.

    From Mar to Oct before the declaration was made, no team in place, CDC didn't activate for a month, no vaccine for 8mos (the epidemic lasted a yr)...not to mention real deaths happening, as opposed to predictions and estimates.

    REALITY CHECK. We've been here, done this before.

    Trump acted no faster no slower than Obama.

    And as stated earlier in this thread, the current panic would seem to be politically motivated.

    Thanks for the link, perspective is a good thing.

    I propose that people don't misrepresent what is happening or what has happened and that they don't do so to score some pathetic, childish political point. Not that hard you would think.

    Last time I checked, the US was #39 on the global infection scale. To TDS patients, that is failure.

    He never called the virus a hoax, just your party's pathetic playing politics with it in a failed attempt to smear him.

    Thanks to Trump's quick action, of nations with at least 1,000 cases, the US has the lowest infection rate at 8.6 per million. Pray for Italy, they didn't quickly seal themselves off from China like we did and they have 350 infected per million.

    https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

    They are locked down now, and digging deep for the strength that comes when the hour is the darkest. In isolation they are opening their windows and singing to one another and applauding their front health care workers that giving all they have and putting everything on the line.

    QUARANTINE, ITALIAN STYLE: Brave Undaunted Italians in isolation, open their windows and cheerfully fill their streets with song.

    It's obvious Putin has something on trump. If the golden shower story isn't true then what do you suggest Putin is holding over trump's head? Don't say nothing because that would just be more lip flappin' B.S.

    No it isn't.
    If? Do you also believe in the Easter Bunny?
    I made no such suggestion. You did.
    It's your unsupported premise followed by an unfounded observation ending in a faulty conclusion. But, you seem to be having fun so by all means, continue.
