    Prove that Biden was talking specifically about the partial travel ban from China.

    Do you have links to those accusations or should we just take your word?

    And which bit of this is hard to understand?
    "
    Travelers should be prepared for the possibility of travel restrictions with little or no advance notice. Most commercial air carriers have reduced or suspended routes to and from China.

    Those currently in China should attempt to depart by commercial means. "

    If there is a ban then how can anyone travel by commercial means? It is an advisory ie the advice is Do Not Travel. There is no ban

    reply to my own post from earlier....

    just heard on news, Trump admin thinking about asking congress for a payroll tax cut, along with a bailout for some corps

    this could be good for the economy, but no details as of yet

    hopefully not just a carrot for the working class to get a mega corporate stimulus - but that will really be up to congress and dems control the House

    yep, that was a lie by Trump, the Trump admin still running with that lie

    it was a government travel advisory\recommendation... not a ban

    they asked this very question to the Pence task force last week and they admitted it, surprised this week they are back to calling it a ban

    Perhaps you could give the number of Coronavirus cases in each of those countries as on 1st Feb ? China is not even in your list

    In part it is. If government bans travel, they did, the airlines will stop their flights.

    they were not travel bans for Americans to travel to or from China, Americans could still come and go to China, it was a recommendation, not a ban

    https://www.factcheck.org/2020/03/the-facts-on-trumps-travel-restrictions/

    "“There’s no restriction on Americans going back and forth,” Klain said. “There are warnings. People should abide by those warnings. But today, 30 planes will land in Los Angeles that either originated in Beijing or came here on one-stops, 30 in San Francisco, 25 in New York City. Okay? So, unless we think that the color of the passport someone carries is a meaningful public health restriction, we have not placed a meaningful public health restriction.”"

    I could really care less, the warning was a good thing, but Trump lying about it, is just silly, kind like his weather map ordeal
