It would be pretty weird if it was, given that the first case of COVID detected in Africa was on February 14th in Egypt, which is two weeks after the tweet and in a country that wasn't banned.
Edit: In case anyone's going to complain about the paywall:
COVID is mentioned, but only in the context of the separate (not really a) ban on China.Quote:
Officials with the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department who briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity said Eritrea, Tanzania and Kyrgyzstan were being added to the list because each country had either had not satisfied the administration’s information-sharing requirements related to terrorism or did not have updated passport systems.
The officials said Sudan remained a state sponsor of terrorism, even though the country has transitioned to a civilian-run government from one ruled by its military.

The extension of the travel ban comes at a delicate time for international travel amid a coronavirus outbreak in China. The administration also announced on Friday that most foreign citizens traveling from China would be temporarily suspended entry in the United States.
I almost admire the way you're so willing to be eagerly wrong.Quote:

Someone really needs to tell Tedward that the CDC and NIH are not the same thing at all.
I am glad that most of the country takes COVID seriously and isn't playing politics causing people who most need access to the vaccine to endanger themselves. It is a shame that one party has decided that it is a game and peons are expendable.
