    It's going to spread to any country with no travel ban soon enough, then to countries with bans. It's a virus. lol

    The hypocrisy is so blatant and yet the left expects us to not notice. Next the left will want to build a wall at the Mexican border.

    unlike Trump, Biden did not say we need to ban a race or religion...

    Biden is following the science, not prejudices

    Trump never banned anyone for race or religion. Can't imagine what might have implanted that idea into your brain. :rolleyes:

    He didn't ban travel from all Muslim countries. Only the ones where we had a high-risk of ISIS terrorists slipping across our borders by mixing in with the majority of peace-loving people.

    Obama banned certain Muslim countries for entry during his administration for the exact same reason.

    So feelings are more important than reality. Can you cite where his admin called it a Muslim ban because Muslims were not banned.

    Direct quote please. Only media and Democrat leaders twisted Trump's intentions and falsely turned them into a "xenophobic anti-religious" gaslighting.

    He never did, but the left will continue to double down on that lie in order to justify Biden's bans.

    I supported travel bans. Period. That means NO ONE travels into the US from that country. When the ban from China occurred, it did not stipulate that - so it wasn't a ban on travel from China, it was a ban on Chinese people.

    And yet many of your like minded simply can't understand why COVID-19 and Chiner was the absolute best chance to contain it.. You sir are a shinning hope in a sea of misinformation and ignorance!!

    Well done!

    Correct. And that’s why it was a miserable failure. It was never “one guy from China” like Covidiot told us

    It was what it was while Chiner and the WHO defined it, right? Or you know looking to walk back the best and most accurate answer that there is
    And if I might add, impossible to contain or control at that juncture.. Why fight it when you nailed it and the real reason the world was infected and why the would is still infected?

    Biden is doing EXACTLY what Trump did wrong, and should be held to the same account. The idea that banning non-Americans, while allowing Americans is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Apparently in politics, Americans who travel are immune to Corona, and cant spread it when they come home. Trump did this in the original Chinese Travel ban and it was dumb then, and its dumb now

    FFS.
