1) I agree to an extent. I think travel bans, when there are epidemics happenning, should be implemented FAR sooner until a better understanding of the disease has occurred. 2) My problem with Trump's travel ban to china is that it WASN'T a travel ban....like, at all. Something like 90,000 people STILL came from China in the weeks after that announcement. Tehy just weren't Chinese nationals.
3)Honestly, I think I've found about 3 or 4 democrats who alluded to "racism" or "xenophobia" around the travel ban specifically. Listen, instituting an ACTUAL travel ban would NOT have been either of those things.
But that is not what was instituted.
IT was a ban on Chinese nationals. NOT a ban on travel to OR from China for anyone else. Regardless, his naming of the disease the "China virus" ABSOLUTELY is xenophobic, in my opinion anyways.
