The travel restrictions on China had massive holes in them (it was only against foreign nationals who had been in China in the past two weeks; hundreds of thousands still came to the US on direct flights from China after the "ban.")

And it wasn't some early idea either, 45 countries had enacted travel restrictions on China before the US, and by the time the US had we already had cases and local transmission confirmed inside the country.

Finally the whole purpose of restricting travel is to buy time to ramp up preparation... instead Trump treated it more like "case closed" so we did absolutely fucking nothing with any time gained there and were still woefully unprepared when the first wave ramped up.

like the whole "ban on china" shit has turned into some serious mythologized bullshit that doesn't reflect reality at all

I believe we were the first Western nation to announce one. Besides maybe the Czech Republic.

And, for how ineffectual you said it was and not strong enough, he was lambasted for being too drastic.
