The Covid-19 pandemic is a "global crisis", said European Commission presidents Ursula von der Leyen and Charles Michel. It "requires cooperation rather than unilateral action," they said.
DUHnocchio's travel restrictions are due to go into effect on Friday at midnight EDT (0400 GMT). They affect only countries that are members of the Schengen border-free travel area [which does not include Russia] and does not affect US citizens, the UK, or Ireland.
It is a major escalation in the response to Covid-19 by Idiot-in-Chief, who has been accused of inaction. However, the ban was met with frustration in Washington as well as abroad. ----------
The virus is already transmitting as community-acquired infection in the USA. Horse. Barn. Out.
Europe? I have no doubt that Vlad is pleased.
UNpresident Idiot-in-Chief has made a number of misleading statements about his decision on Jan. 31 to impose travel restrictions related to the novel coronavirus epidemic.
DUHnocchio has [misleadingly] referred to the travel restrictions as a “travel ban.” There isn’t an outright ban, as there are exceptions, including for Americans and their family members.
DUHnocchio LIED that he was “bold” in imposing travel restrictions even though “everybody said, it’s too early, it’s too soon” and “a lot of people that work on this stuff almost exclusively” told him “don’t do it.” Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said the decision stemmed from “the uniform recommendations of the career public health officials here at HHS.”
DUHnocchio LIED that Democrats “loudly criticized and protested” his announced travel restrictions, and that they “called me a racist because I made that decision.” DUHnocchio is overstating Democratic opposition. None of the party’s congressional leaders and none of the Democratic candidates running for president have directly criticized that decision, though at least two Democrats have.
DUHnocchio LIED that the travel restrictions “saved a lot of lives” and reduced U.S. COVID-19 cases to “a very small number.” But experts say there isn’t enough data to make that determination. A study in the journal Science found the various travel limitations across the globe initially helped to slow the spread, but the number of cases worldwide rose anyway because the virus had already begun traveling undetected internationally.
Azar declared a public health emergency for the novel coronavirus on Jan. 31, and announced the travel restrictions to and from China, effective Feb. 2. On Feb. 29, DUHnocchio expanded those travel restrictions to Iran. DUHnocchio has repeatedly boasted that his decision to impose the travel restrictions was bold and worked. But his [LYING] rhetoric has sometimes stretched the facts.
