Bill Gates explains, what the ban actually did was create a rush for citizens to return to the US - 40,000 returned from China when the ban went into effect, since they weren't covered - and they weren't tested, and brought the virus. So even that one little trump claim, is actually just giving him a perfect record of doing the wrong thing. It's clear since his supporters cheer that, they'll cheer anything he does, even if he nuked half the country.

I don't know if it made it worse, but it sure was ineffective as people just flew the other direction, and came in from Europe.

Well, if you watch the short clip, it explains that it panicked people in China to rush home, creating a big flood of infected people coming with no virus check. That made it worse.

Maybe Bill Gates, being brilliant in the ways of science, industry, and international travel, should run for president with that jap super computer as vice pres.
Yep, that'd do it ... instant perfection, instant utopia.

Should Trump have banned U.S. citizens and residents from returning home?

Yeah, we could have force AMERICAN citizens to hang around in China forever. Prohibiting legal US citizens from re-entering the country? Good thing Gates is good at computers because he'd fail as a lawyer.

I'd also guess that getting Americans back as soon as possible would reduce the the chances of more infections had they stayed longer in China.

remember , this is democrat (politburo) logic. it's ok to stomp on citizens rights and stuff, as long as it suits your narrative.

I think one of the biggest indicators that Trump’s (partial) travel ban didn’t work is the over 200k Americans who are dead and the 100’s of 1000’s more projected to die in addition.

Well if Bill Gates claimes it and it's anti Trump then it must be true.
Chances are, had Trump not declared a travel ban on China, it would have made the virus worse.

Also part of that logic is whatever your opponent does - it's work and millions will die; even if you'd do the same thing IF you were in power.

Can you even imagine what the Democrats would have said if Trump banned citizens from returning home? And if they were muslim to boot?!

Well, since you use republic (Nazi Martian) logic, it's ok to post insanity and torture puppies as long as it suits your narrative.

Thank you, Dr. Lovebug, for correcting Bill Gates and the doctors, and explaining that causing a big panic rush of 40,000 people from infected areas into the US without any testing actually made things better.

Isn't Bill Gates the person who's spreading the virus with 5G under orders from the CIA?

Not correcting medical experts, but pointing out that Trump can't do no right.

You say the statements of the medical experts are wrong, and then deny you are correcting them. And then you try to attack correct criticism of trump by making him a victim. Oh, poor trump, attacked right or wrong. Except it's right and you have no defense, so you just make up how he's a victim and attack the people who are right with nothing. And you're projecting. Pelosi "can't do no right" with you, can she?
