Just a thought, a travel ban from a country is not worth much when you allow over 40,000 people in that country come in after the ban. I would also add that a ban on one country is pretty useless when you still allow travel from countries that are in the middle of a Pandemic.
That said, in todays connected world there really is no way to stop something like a virus from travelling across borders, it will get in. The important factor is how you deal with it once it is in, in that area we have done a piss poor job and hence why will be dealing with this way longer than necessary and more people will suffer and die that should not have.

Well said, thank you. I'm sure that you also noticed the lag time between banning travel from Asia and banning it from Europe and the UK, in particular. Even so, I don't fault #TRE45ON for the bans or lag time. As you correctly pointed out, what counts is what you do once it's in your midst. Doing nothing and telling everyone it'll be gone soon, and is no worse than the flu at any rate, is not what you do. For that, Trump gets 100% of the blame for how the virus has ravaged our people.

Hello Trumpet,
Check it yourself.
It was a July poll from Missouri only.
It's old news.
If the election were held today, Trump would fare even worse with insurrection blood on his hands.
Look at the Biden's approval polling - soaring!
Trump is in the dumps.
And with any luck, NY investigators will find out he is guilty of fraud and tax evasion. They make a convincing case in court. Trump will go to prison.

Weird that it took conservative posters 14 months to suddenly realize what we were telling them a year ago. This virus is a substantial risk to the United States.
At one time, there was even a thread here featuring a Deplorable chuckling about "only 61 COVID deaths"!
