    "The Associated Press reported that more than 8,000 Chinese and foreign nationals based in those territories entered the U.S. in the first three months after the travel restrictions were imposed.

    Additionally, more than 27,000 Americans returned from mainland China in the first month after the restrictions took effect. U.S. officials lost track of more than 1,600 of them who were supposed to be monitored for virus exposure.
    "

    So no, they all weren't taken to military bases. Unless you believe 27,000 people were to be hold up in military bases and what...1,600 "escaped"? Haha

    That is only 6% and of those, you don't know how many did not maintain a quarantine. For all we know, they could have all broke quarantine or none of them broke quarantine.

    It said "The problem with his core argument starts with the fact that he did not ban travel from China. He imposed porous restrictions.". However, what they described was a ban. They allowed Americans to return to the US. I assume that you and the article would have preferred that they not be allowed to return to the US.

    Trump is not listening to the scientists. And this is why this country has the worst response to the pandemic in the world. Because of his lack of action in respect to expert advice, Trump can claim responsibility for at least 70 thousand (so far) of the deaths that have occurred.

    In other words, there is no point in self quarantining anyone. We need to lock everyone up who has any possibility of having Covid-19. Is that your preference?

    B..B..But... I was under the impression when Befuddled Joe and his Bidettes took over Covid-19 would be null and void. You mean, GASP, somebody LIED?

    In other words you have no idea what you're talking about. Instead of reading what you THINK someone is posting how about reading what they ACTUALLY post? Do you have the ability to do that?
    I never said there is no point in self quarantining. That is your assumption. I just merely pointing out it only works with people who have integrity. Nowhere did I say there's no point in it. Again, try reading what is ACTUALLY posted.
    No one having COVID should be locked up. No one suspected of having COVID should be locked up. In fact there should be no more closing down of businesses. Everything should be remain open. Is that clear enough for you or will I have to continue to explain it to you in the next ten posts?

    I don't know what Biden's plan is to shut the barn door, but I at least trust him to acknowledge that the horses are still escaping.

    There are three basic choices. No quarantine. Self quarantine. Enforced quarantine (locked up). Which do you prefer?

    Holy s#it. So it turns out you actually DON'T have the ability to read what someone ACTUALLY posted.
    I will write this slowly for you ok? Ready for my answer? Are you sure? It's coming, so be prepared. Ok....here it comes. Ready?
    Anyone who is contagiously sick should stay the hell home, on their own doing, so as not to infect others. It's called common courtesy. In other words....NO ENFORCED QUARANTINE....NO ENFORCED QUARANTINE...NO ENFORCED QUARANTINE.

    No need to get all emotional. Yes, it affects ALL of us and that's why it is unreasonable to blame Trump. The rate of infection would have to be significantly higher among Republicans for you to have a point. It would take a profound level of ignorance to believe that those who don't trust Trump made an exception in this case.

    More like the scientific experts who've recommended self quarantining.

    You're saying COVID doesn't represent more of a national emergency than Don stealing money from other dept.s to fund the ineffectual wall?

    "When asked to clarify what his plan for a mask mandate would entail, the campaign pointed to Biden's remarks on October 23 where he said, "First, I'll go to every governor and urge them to mandate mask-wearing in their states. And if they refuse, I'll go to the mayors and county executives and get local masking requirements in place nationwide."
    Biden added, "As president, I'll mandate mask wearing in all federal buildings and all interstate transportation because masks save lives. Period."

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/01/politics/mask-mandate-fact-check/index.html

    That's a far cry from Don's, "getting the virus is no big deal," message. Or his "drink some Clorox and chill" message.

    According to the border patrol, the wall works.
