it did no more or less than anyone else's own travel restrictions considering it was all way too late because China intentionally concealed the outbreak and allowed international travel to and from China for months.
i find it amusing that you and other posters continue to claim Trump "botched" the covid response when he did exactly what other nations did.
"He didn’t ban travel from China. He restricted it. Dozens of countries took similar steps to control travel from hot spots before or around the same time the U.S. did."
so which is it? those other nations were correct in their response which was not a total ban but a restriction? there is only one correct answer. if you claim Trump was wrong to
restrict travel (not totally ban, no country did that) then every other nation was
also wrong.
none of it mattered by then anyway. covid had already escaped the genie's bottle.
