    There is a difference between just being able to cross a border by walking or driving versus having to buy a plane ticket.

    3.5 million people cross the EU borders every day. About 325,000 people fly into the US every day.

    Any more questions?

    Worry in and of itself is pointless. Assessing the situation and taking appropriate action is the opposite of hand wringing worry.

    It's hard to trace back how it all started in Italy. But the first Italian in Lombardy was a 38 year old who met his friend with no symptoms who came back from China. Lombardy is the epic center of the outbreak. Lombardy is a place with a booming economy where international trade deals are made as a daily thing. It's not so different from NY in that respect. It could just have happened in NY. Trumps ban was made... AFTER... the virus came to the US.

    He hasn't screwed up because the total mortality rate in the US so far is 120. He has screwed up because he set us on a path where a million die.

    If Biden were president, things would be exponentially worse at this point. He criticized Trump as being xenophobic when he shut the planes down from China in early January. And Sanders? Don't get me started! He claimed during the recent Town Hall that we would NOT shut the borders, even now! (His illogical thinking was that since the virus is already here, it's too late. So riiiiiight…...let's keep on importing more virus by the planeful.)

    Thankfully we have a president who puts the interests (and lives!) of Americans ahead of foreigners who have no intrinsic "right" to be here, especially when they are coming from infected countries.

    BS that statement by you was made without one shred of evidence and is yet another partisan hackjob that lacks any facts, any reasoning, any intelligence, nor any truth. Your daily diatribes to make this virus political is rather ridiculous you seemingly don't give a damn about anything but badmouthing Trump. Your own deficiency has ruined many a informative threads. Congrats

    One million dead is a middle case scenario from the CDC.

    A) Biden did not call Trump's partial travel restriction from China xenophobic. He said this is not the time for Trump's history xenophobia and racism, but there was no connection in his statement to that specific Trump action. Indeed, it is much more likely that Biden was talking about the history of xenophobia and racism that immediately resulted in a significant spike of reported instances of abuse reported by asians across the globe and in this country.

    B) If Biden were President, then you can be certain that a much higher percentage of Americans would have taken this threat much sooner instead of listening to Trump who repeatedly lied about the virus, downplayed the threat it poses, touted the benefits of the virus, used the word hoax while discussing the virus, disbanded the pandemic response team, and refused to encourage an acceleration of testing early on because he was afraid it would hurt his re-election chances. Now, would a President who did none of those things be better for the country? I think so, but it's a fictional world where unfortunately we do not live and instead we have a President that did, in fact, do all those things.

    C) We are already an infected country and I would be willing to bet that our total number of infections will become the highest in the world very soon (although maybe not the highest on a per capita basis). Restricting international and domestic travel is part of the solution, but educating the public and strongly encouraging/enforcing social distancing, better health practices, and getting people ready to hunker down in their homes should they get sick is the more important step. And Trump's failure to do those steps early is one of his most significant failings.

    More fake news.

    No, the White House didn’t ‘dissolve’ its pandemic response office. I was there.

    These are the people Democrats want controlling their health care.

    Let that sink in.

    475 death in the last 24h in Italy.
    We had our first death in Quebec today. A senior who has been in contact with people who had travelled but didn't quarantined themselves...

    How can you come here day after day spreading lies and a false narrative and expect to be taken seriously?

    That has been debunked so many times even the slowest in the herd should have been able to grasp it by now,
