The extent of travel restrictions vary — from the suspension of visa programs to entry denial. According to one tracker of travel restrictions, Biden's 45 figure checks out. Other research shows that the number is around 36.

Where Biden misleads is on the relative speed of the U.S. compared with others. The U.S. travel restriction came shortly after the WHO declared a public health emergency and around the same time as other nations, experts said. They all did it in the same 3 day period. The United States made an exemption for US nationals and green card holders.

Biden isn't the president. He's running for office and he sucks.

Travel ban. Hooray. 1 small step that stayed small.

Are we going to argue what Biden said that was roundabout correct? So 36, 40, 45. Who cares? The fact is Trump didn't officially ban travel to and from China until January 31st where as other countries had already acted and done so in various capacities.

Looks like you copied and pasted that without a source btw.

This is what i dont like. We've acknowledged the left has made mis steps here but everyone on the right wants Trump to get this huge pat on the back for banning travel to and from China. Okay, great.

Like you said, where is the funding for testing? Where is the PPE? Why the daily briefings with misinformation, lies, etc? Where is the acknowledgement that the virus wasn't "one man in China"?

If the president takes this seriously, lives are saved. The clear evidence is he didn't.

....not to mention there is growing evidence he had intel as far back as late Nov. early Dec. that the virus was already spreading in China.

So the president had info about this in Nov or Dec? Before the CDC and WHO (who were completely inept)? Then what’s it matter or not? He isn’t a doctor or scientist. They are dealing with something never before seen, it’s gonna take a while to figure it out, and the WHO seriously doubted person to person contact as late as late January, and said a travel ban would be ill advised and spread fear... then Jan 31 they changed their tune.

And no one is saying to absolve the guy. Was he perfect? No. could he have done more? Probably, u can always do more. We are saying give the guy a break and stop spreading lies that he is acting maliciously. He and his team are dealing with a never before seen pandemic, give the guy some slack when his medical experts and scientists aren’t making any ground breaking discoveries. It seems like the governors are happy with him because he is helping them. The people with the issues are the democrat congressmen.

Once again... context. I mentioned Biden bc that’s most likely where Mets got the number... or another media outlet repeat Biden’s claim.

Was it a factual statement or not?

I never presented a time frame so its not misleading. Not to mention, I can back up all the statements i made in that post with official articles. It doesn't change the fact that 40,000 people also traveled from China since the ban became official. It also doesn't change the slow response he had when it came to testing, PPE, and all the lies the president has told.

Hey **** it. Let's just forget all of that though and consistently make it a partisan political issue.

Trump signs order to force the meat packing plants to stay open. Brilliant.
Keep people with low wages, many of whom don't have insurance working regardless fo risk. And if they get sick with now insurance? Trump supporters get upset they need treatment but happily eat that burger.

“We only wish that this administration cared as much about the lives of working people as it does about meat, pork and poultry products,” said Stuart Appelbaum, President of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union.

There is other food besides meat. I eat tons but there is other food. And he did allow illegals to work the farms.

This dude gets worse and worse. How about this. People pay more for meat that is processed in good environments and gives workers reasonable wages?

My point is it still shows nothing better about how Trump has responded. One small positive detail amidst a field of horse crap

How fuming would that be.
"This is Bobo. He's my new cheeeef-of-staff. You'll love him. He one of the smartest people I know."
(Bobo whispers to president, that he isn't a person)

"I just fired Bobo. He said he isn't a person but he is because I know people. I can't have that"

Maybe the workers can clean the meat with disinfectant before injecting it into themselves.

“Wow I was technically right” but won’t add the fact that no credible news outlet will back it up bc they all happened in such a close time frame that its impossible to tell. You’re a real winner. The kid at the park, always making up their own rules so they win. So like I said... MISLEADING. You take one single thing and don’t even put in the complete sentence.


And yes, he let back 40000 US citizens. And there was no test for it bc it was such a new virus... until private industry started working on it... privatized healthcare 1- socialized healthcare zero! PPE has been a problem since 9/11, the ventilator shortage was way overblown.
