The travel restrictions were too little, too late, and are rather meaningless with early testing, testing testing. The virus is called Covid-19 because it was identified in 2019. Tell me one protective measure this administration put in place in 2019. I'll tell you one protective measure it eliminated in 2018, and the whole world knows about it.Your certainly entitled to your opinion. As for me, I’ll trust an expert on infectious diseases like Dr. Fauci, who served Obummer for 8 years
Dr. Anthony Fauci: Travel Ban To China Absolutely Made A Difference
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Sunday that while the U.S. will definitely “get hit” by coronavirus, he has reasons to believe that the country may fare better than other parts of the world, at least in part due to early action by the Trump administration

BREAKING: Democrats Block Coronavirus Bill That Provides Lifeline To Economy, FamiliesJust simple transparency is all they’re asking for.
Dems seize on 'slush fund' to oppose Republican rescue package
But the language drafted by Senate Republicans also allows Mnuchin to withhold the names of the companies that receive federal money and how much they get for up to six months if he so decides.

We have all the twitter posts to analyze how pro-active Trump was in 2018 and 2019. The China travel ban was when?

Reality vs right wing fantasy
Anthony Fauci: “When you’re dealing with the White House, sometimes you have to say things 1,2,3,4 times, and then it happens. So I’m going to keep pushing… I’m trying my best. I cannot do the impossible.” ‘I’m going to keep pushing.’ Anthony Fauci tries to make the White House listen to facts of the pandemic | Science | AAAS

Hindsight is always 20/20. Italy is in such bad shape because they continued to have direct flights from Wuhan. Travel restrictions on China by this admin, have been huge in slowing the spread here. The Admin was called racist for doing it. All the Dems had to do was not over react. Now Trump will get 100% of the credit for beating the Chinese VirusSo I guess this trump retweet to end social distancing is meant to save lives. What day are we on now?and Murica loves a winner.
"WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF," Trump wrote in a tweet posted near midnight on Sunday. "AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO!"

Last week #arleg used emergency rule making authority to approve @AsaHutchinson request for 30 million dollars for PPE so our healthcare providers could be safe. 1/?
Jim Hendren@JimHendren1
Unfortunately it still hasn’t solved problem because the feds only let us purchase 25% of the PPE we need from their strategic stockpiles. They tell states we’re on our own for the rest - go bid against every other state and country with no protection that prices won’t run up.
@JimHendren1
This is failure of the worst kind. It’s like telling states to go procure F-15s and battleships for self defense. This is a national crisis. The full power of the USA should be leveraged to solve this problem. Not 50 individual states left to compete with each other.
I’m glad that we, as a state, haven’t sent the same message to our counties, cities and hospitals that the Federal government sent to us.

Fauci on Trump: 'I can't jump in front of the microphone and push him down' - CNNPolitics
Fauci was specifically asked about some of Trump's comments, including his assertion that China should have told US officials about the coronavirus three months sooner. That would have been around September, and there is no evidence Chinese officials were aware of the virus at that time.
"It just doesn't comport with facts," said the interviewer, Jon Cohen.
"I know, but what do you want me to do?" Fauci replied. "I mean, seriously Jon, let's get real. What do you want me to do?"

Fauci on Trump: 'I can't jump in front of the microphone and push him down' - CNNPoliticsAn underlying problem is that there has been a feud started by Trump with China and we have been expelling their journalists and they have been expelling our journalists. Not sure how long that’s been going on, but it was reported on NPR. Also, there is this agency called the CIA that most likely would have or should have had advanced knowledge of the virus outbreak, but was probably ignored by the moron in chief.

I'll tell you one protective measure it eliminated in 2018, and the whole world knows about it.In this earlier post of mine, I meant to say “travel restrictions are meaningless WITHOUT testing, testing, testing”. You have to have the early testing to know where it’s spreading, how it is spreading, and whether a travel restriction is really working. In other words, the virus most likely was already community spreading in the states before the travel restrictions.

Sadly this is what happens when a moron promotes something as a cure before it can be tested and proven effective and production can be ramped up to meet demand.

“He Can’t Make Any Big Decisions”: As the Crisis Escalates, Trump Experiments With a Pivot
According to sources, Trump is increasingly frustrated with Fauci and governors who advocated for shutting down large swathes of the economy to stop COVID-19’s out-of-control spread. According to four Republicans briefed on internal West Wing conversations, Trump is fuming privately that Fauci advised him that the only way to blunt the pandemic was to bring the economy to a halt. “Trump is furious,” a former West Wing official said. “He’s been calling business leaders asking if he should just reopen the economy,” a Republican briefed on the conversations told me. “He’s hearing that you have to get the economy going,” another former West Wing official said.
