    pssst....National Emergency

    Trump had to explicitly "exclude" american citizens from the travel ban.....hmmmmmm

    I dont have a "side of the fence". This idea that their are sides is ridiculous. Just admit that Trump sllowed travel from China while the virus was spreading there ,thus, increasing its effect in the united states

    There's no way to know that.. The Chiners have open travel with Italy so logically Italy was seriously infected too. Your just not being honest with yourself.. COVID has a 14 day incubation time (some shorter some longer" and no one really knows HOW long people where leaving there infected.. Some sources believe that Chiner was infect in October, do you recall any indication of outbreak prior to December? The point is you're pissed off at Trump while coddling the liars in China.. You got blame, focus it on where the virus came from and when it was first detected... Then be logical and understand "IT WAS ALREADY EVERYWHERE" in December :roll:

    Talking to Democrats, a lot of them see the ability to pin the blame on Trump for the COVID 19 as really their only chance of winning the election. So, it's kind of the last hope for that side. I think it's going to be tough to do that, but I expect to see that strategy put into effect aggressively until the election.

    Those US citizens traveling back to the US were free to travel back to China afterwards. That is the whole point. There was no ban on flights to and from China. Trump lied

    I see you use the word Pandemic! So why is it you have a problem understanding what it means! It was already fueled to be a pandemic in December.. The seeds of infection were already in every country including the U.S..

    Allowing US citizens to return. Much of the country is expected to self isolate, why would they be different? Beijing and Shanghai are nowhere near Wuhan...

    Those US citizens were free to go back to China after they returned to US. It's irrelevant whether they would be different. The point is that there was no travel ban on flying to and from China

    You folks are nitpicking. Trump did ban travel from Wuhan. The world doesn't stop over a virus and seeing the apparent ignorance over basic geography saying anything other than China would've caused confusion...

    He didn't ban travel to and from China for US citizens who visited Wuhan either. US citizens could still go to Wuhan and fly back to the US but would be put in quarantine. So again, there was no ban on flight travel to and from China including those who visited Wuhan

    Its math BB.

    The less that have it in the beginning, the more you can control it overall. If the math equation starts with 10, that means the total will be less than an equation that starts with 100.

    An advisory is not a ban and I've been through this point loads of times. This advisory has been in placed for months and since then thousands of people have travelled between the us and China

    So your saying that illegals crossing the border are as dangerous as Covid-19 ?

    He banned non-citizens and put severe restrictions on American citizens. He allowed them to come home but only at specific airports set up to handle them. After the Level 4: do not travel advisory went into place the major airlines ended their services to China.

    Math LMAO. You haven't or anyone else a clue how many people transmitted it in the beginning? One walk thru an airport, sitting in a large flying twinkie sharing the same air, restroom.. Having the food trays gathered and rolled by everyone in a aisle seat..

    Lets all try thinking how easily this virus jumped from persons to person(s), country to country and all around the world.. If anything hardly anyone fault other then Chiners..

    A lot can happen on a 18 hour plane ride :roll:

    Er, 40,000 passengers flew between China and the US in the last 2 months. There was no ban on flying between China and the US.

    I think Trump's experts have to praise Trump daily to keep their jobs, it's sad, but a reality of working for Trump - Trump has a very fragile ego

    Read what I said again. He banned non-citizens.

    "Foreign nationals other than immediate family of U.S. citizens and permanent residents who have traveled in China in the last 14 days will be denied entry into United States."
