Reply to comment by bertiebasit in China Covid: US considers restrictions on Chinese arrivals by Methylatedcobalamin

You’re not wrong. Certain politicians who are now in power, among the majority of Reddit, called it racist.

It’s not xenophobic. A plane just landed in Italy from Chiba. 50% tested positive and then there are the rest of them that will be exposed on the flight.

It’s common sense to bring in controls.
