Moving to counter the spreading coronavirus outbreak, the Trump administration said Friday that it would bar entry by most foreign nationals who had recently visited China and put some American travelers under a quarantine as it declared a rare public health emergency.Paywall.Yet the New York Times on February 10th complained that Trump would OVERREACT and stop travel because he is a germphobe.
Just admit that left wing assholes will criticize everything Trump does period.
Try to STFU and not make everything political.
Maybe go do some meth with Andrew Gillum to clear your head.
Some Experts Worry as a Germ-Phobic Trump Confronts a Growing Epidemic
Read that article then shut up.
Plus I heard no mention of anything like this anywhere from anyone.
The article basically rounds up Trump's missteps to include praising China for it's actions, downplaying the potential severity and what not. This is the part that is critical of the China travel ban (Europe hadn't happened yet).
The words “shut it down” apparently referred to an executive order the president had issued two days earlier, barring entry to the United States by foreign citizens who traveled to China in the past two weeks. Some health experts worry that Mr. Trump overpromised because the order — which the White House announced abruptly, with little outside consultation — is unlikely to prevent the illness from reaching the United States, and federal health officials say they assume the number of cases in the United States is likely to increase.
Speaking at a Friday news briefing, Mr. Azar defended the president’s actions and said the new travel restrictions were “very measured and incremental” while praising Mr. Trump’s “aggressive” response overall.
Imagine that, those health experts were right and Trump was wrong to assume (and do little else) this would just pass us over.
EDIT Looks like this has already been covered and the wingnuts can't get over it.
The temporary restrictions followed announcements by American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines that they would suspend air service between the United States and China for several months.
The travel disruption sent shocks through the stock market and rattled industries that depend on the flow of goods and people between the world’s two largest economies. Planning was upended for companies across a vast global supply chain, from Apple to John Deere, the tractor company.

Yep, the haphazard actions the administration took to get those Americans back into the country looks to have been the cause of one of the first known public transmission of the disease in the United States. Of course we should have gotten those people, but they should have been better prepared.
It's ironic because Trump was shitting his pants over ebola when we rescued Americans and brought them back. Trump would have preferred if we let them die. Of course this was because Trump was using any excuse to criticize Obama.
