That was a different travel ban entirely unrelated to coronavirus.Originally Posted by dawg80
Of course. Which one was it?
You have a really selective memory which lies its way in a complete circle back to the same false reality.
On January 31, 2020, the same day he placed travel restrictions on China, he also expanded his Muslim ban to new countries — Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Sudan, and Tanzania.
I know it is hard to keep up with the many different Trump travel bans, but please do try.

What Dem leader criticized it?
Whatever they accuse Trump of doing, they have been doing even longer.
Dems- “Yes, we support this bill reducing regulation on small business development. However, another important aspect of this bill is the protection of the Asian Water Monitor in Thailand.”
No, this is not a real example, but it’s not an exaggeration in the least.
Looking at the data, we are still on this trend. Probably hit the apex before April 18, though, so the doubling will start to take longer than 4 days by then.
It is possible...and I hope this happens...that the stringent mitigation procedures employed will change the projected rate. It should, in theory. I mean there has been concerted effort to flatten the curve, so hopefully the projections based on pre-social distancing (and other measures) are not now the true path. We'll soon see!
Looks like it's already taking longer than 4 days.
4/2 - 5153 deaths and 217,000 confirmed cases
4/5 - 6593 deaths and 277,205 confirmed cases
Edit:
4/5 - 8500(ish) deaths. CDC does not update weekend stats until Monday?
I use infection2020.com, but weekend updates are more sporadic.
I must say I agree with all of the travel bans and would be fine with many more countries being banned. Stressful and dangerous times like these beg for these to be in place as well as others.
I support TIGHT, monitored travel controls, and in some cases bans, for other reasons beyond just contagious diseases.
As for this circumstance, I think we'll see another change at points of entry, with airports being the primary places. Saw on FOX that Singapore has installed infrared scanners that scan an arriving flight as people are just getting off the plane. There are agents watching a monitor and if any passenger displays a "hot" spot they are pulled aside for further checking. I don't know how effective this is being and if there are other better ways to accomplish the same thing...screening folks who have a fever. But, look for such measures to be implemented at all international airports for sure.
Just so it is clear that this literally had nothing to do with coronavirus.
The official mentioned the new nations on the list had some combination of the following attributes: They do not issue passports with electronic chips, have not enforced lost passport reporting policies consistent with international standards and have not shared criminal and biometric information with the United States. They also may exhibit economic or political conditions that make them vulnerable to terrorist groups.
“We look at compliance and risk in tandem, because we are intrinsically more concerned about risk stemming from gaps and vulnerabilities in high-risk countries, particularly the higher risk that a terrorist can come to the United States,” the official said. “These kinds of fundamental identity management and information sharing gaps become a much higher priority, although we do expect all nations in the world to meet the baseline.”
Sounds like a muslim ban alright.
