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.
