Joe Biden Refuses to Listen to Experts, Rejects Travel Bans amid Coronavirus

Former Vice President Joe Biden (D) is refusing to listen to the advice of the nation’s leading medical experts, continuing his opposition to travel bans in order to stop the spread of the coronavirus in the United States. At least nine leading medical experts said this week that travel bans from highly affected countries are necessary to contain the spread of the coronavirus. Biden, though, has continued his opposition to any travel bans after telling the American public that they must “listen to the experts.”

...Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar said this week the travel bans “have given our country valuable time to prepare, and that is precisely what they were designed to do.” “We knew most of the cases were coming from China and that’s why the President took an unprecedented step of making sure we restricted travel to those areas,” the U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Michael Adams said in a statement. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told Congress this week that without the travel bans, the U.S. would be “worse” off in terms of fighting the coronavirus and confirmed again that, specifically, a travel ban on Europe would stop outbreaks in the U.S.

Earlier in the week Biden said we should use "science" and "listen to the experts" when it comes to the coronavirus.

But now Biden is once again pro open borders-this as much of the world is sealing off its borders to contain the virus.

It is entirely possible that Biden-who has been increasingly showing signs of dementia-may not even remember what he said earlier in the week.

The last thing a Democrat would do is close the border.

Biden says Democrats respect no borders and I believe him. I've been saying that for years. He also said that foreign nationals who come and go unchecked and unregulated at will are a gift. Glad we don't have a Democrat president today. Sick people from all over earth would be flooding into America overwhelming our healthcare system.

 

And, in spite of the issue mentioned in the OP...
And, in spite of the Constant Breitbert Barrage of "Uncle Joe" stories...

None of this stuff is going to stick, and Biden is headed to a WIN.

Definitely a Sad Time for "Defending" Trump (at all costs).

 

After the media so over-hyped this virus, open borders doesn't look like a good strategy for the foreseeable future. Liberals shot themselves in the foot again...

 

The support for sanctuary cities will drop.

Democrats know that allowing foreign nationals to come and go unchecked and unregulated at will is dangerous and Americans are realizing why.

 

Excellent point, nobody is really talking about sanctuary cities yet...

 

Lol... 'we shall see' - ehhh?

Crushing defeat is made all the more sweeter by over confident antagonists - thumbing their noses... (are you perhaps still in a 2016 recovery 'safe zone') ?

 

Democrats are the party of open borders and the Coronavirus is a perfect example of why their open borders policies are dangerous.

I respect borders and I want my borders respected.

 

Would you say at this point, Biden is a lock. Going to win by a landslide?

 

If border patrol catches just one illegal alien with coronavirus trying to enter the country the whole game changes. More so if it happens after the current panic subsides...

 

I wonder how many foreign nationals with Coronavirus have snuck into America and been aided and abetted by Democrats?

 

Its not just Coronavirus-they bring 3rd world diseases here already.

 

So the guy doing a debate in front of an empty crowd (we no longer have crowds because of the panic, right?) wants to do what Europe and Australia won’t do and allow open travel. So let’s see how honest he is when it comes to our safety: if he really believes there’s no threat from foreigners, is he willing to sniff and grope every one of them as they arrive? If not, then he’s jeopardizing our safety out of progressive political correctness just to get votes.

Biden doesn’t care about the safety of Americans, very few democrats do.

 

Democrats and neo-communist deny this.

Democrats and neo-communist literally believe only good people come and go unchecked and unregulated at will into America. Sick people and criminals would never try such a thing.

 

Its disgusting. How many of our elderly would be exposed to these potentially fatal diseases because of this senile fools pandering?

Biden says xenophobia is a bigger threat than the Wuhan virus.

 

Will Democrats criticism him? They told Trump he was horrible for not taking precautions then a bigger idiot for actually doing what they wanted. Naaaaaaahhhhh

 

Mexico has threatened to keep Americans from going there because we spread the virus and they dont. How racist and xenophobic of them.

 

Mexico has more respect for their borders then Joe Biden and the Democrats.

 

Yes, they see a huge difference between their borders and our borders. Funny how that is.

 

2 minutes in-Biden says he will "use science".

 

I'm still not willing to predict he will get the nomination. He is just a place holder it seems to me.

 

Looks like Biden is as big a fool as Trump has demonstrated over this.

 

True enough but the media hyped coronavirus so they'll have a hard time quashing stories of illegals bringing here...

 

The guy just can't help but work at being an idiot. I guess everyone has to be good at something. His is being stupid. Well, that and not remembering ****.
