Oh wow the place wher the virus originated is still dealing with it? I’m shocked.

Lmfao yup. The country where it originated, whose been dealing with it the longest, implemented the longest and strictest lockdowns in the world and it still didn’t contain covid. Thanks for proving my point bud, appreciate it

Yeah in the cities, you realize China is fucking massive right? You think every single person with COVID was locked in a room?

I know the majority of ppl lived in and entered the cities were under strict covid lockdown restrictions and yet they still weren’t able to contain it. Which was my entire point.

How could they contain something they were keeping silent? The spread in China was out of control before they could contain it because the CCP lied about it.

It would have been physically impossible to prevent it from spreading to the US, unless all incoming flights were suspended. And we know how xenophobic that is perceived to be. The virus has entered endemic mode, and that’s a good thing

Shutting down all flights and then actually having people lockdown. Instead we let people do whatever they wanted and were shocked the virus kept spreading.

America never went into a full lockdown, not even close.

The lockdown would have to be never ending

Not true, it ended before we ever got COVID under control so it wouldn’t have to be forever.

Doesn’t matter. Unless the entire world agrees to the same lockdown measures, which may not have even worked the way you believe, the US would have to ban air travel indefinitely. I get that people want more reasons to hate Trump, but what you’re saying makes little sense

I never even referenced the big bad tangerine and I think Biden has downplayed the pandemic for political unity.

All I’m saying is if I was in charge - we would’ve had no international travel as soon as the report hit my desk. Sort out to the problems later, save a million Americans.

Would that travel ban extend into 2023? Because there are countries outside the US still experiencing covid

Idk, we’re talking about hypotheticals here so who knows. Just saying I would’ve done a lot more than was done, if I had any say.

Definitely wouldn’t have told people not to worry and to keep gathering for holidays.
