Details about the US travel ban's impact are still emerging. But some are already urging the US to reconsider.
"All of the evidence we have indicates that travel restrictions and quarantines directed at individual countries are unlikely to keep the virus out of our borders," Jennifer Nuzzo, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, told lawmakers on Capitol Hill this week. "These measures may exacerbate the epidemic's social and economic tolls. And can make us less safe."

There are clips of Schumer and others of his type running their mouths about Trump's a racist and a xenophobe and every other baseless insult the "blue wave" likes to use for issuing that travel ban. You can easily find them if you like. I've run across them several times.

There's also a montage of a few clips in February of this year containing various NYC staff encouraging people to go out, don't be afraid, go ride the subway, go to the parade, go live your lives, everything is fine, New Yorkers are hearty. Blah blah. After the travel ban. Pelosi was doing the same crap in CA. Then 2 weeks later - BOOM! Our whole world comes to a screeching halt.

They're so hell bent on doing the opposite of what Trump says that they've helped a PANDEMIC grip our country. When the hell is "the blue wave" going to wise up, get a grip, and stop making excuses for and supporting these soulless morons?
Could you link to these Schumer clips? I searched but didn’t find a thing, besides that fake tweet that’s circulated.

Pelosi told people not to be afraid to visit San Francisco’s Chinatown, where the businesses and owners there were facing backlash for a virus they had nothing to do with - she didn’t tell people not to take precautions or generally live life as normal: https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/n ... n/2240247/. And so weird - you omitted Devin Nunes telling people to go to their local pubs and restaurants because they’d get in easy (only to try to backpedal later to say he meant takeout) and the Governor of Oklahoma taking his kids out to dinner in what he described as a packed restaurant and posting about it on social media as the numbers rose.

How were they hellbent on the opposite of Trump? He was downplaying risk in person, on Twitter and with his actions. Is there any chance of you holding him accountable for that, his lies and his incompetence in getting an early start on comprehensive testing before it gripped the country?

We’re all tired of this........

And. He isn’t the only one who can’t get out there and campaign and do rally’s. Biden and Sanders can’t get out there either.
Progress, not perfection.
