    "Everyone else"?

    Who are these people? Chinese nationals? Tourists? American citizens?

    You are also assuming that everyone who wanted to get out of China wanted to (everyone already came).
    You also fail to account for the normal number of travelers who come from China to the US on a monthly basis.

    Sure, when there is a virus in China, most Americans would want to get the fuck out of there.

    Cancelled flights TO China. Of course they will cancel flights to a virus stricken area.

    Trump took bold action with stopping influx from China. Even bolder action when he did the same with the EU countries. That was shocking to all.

    Hell, he doesn't have to die to prove that as trump does it all on his own on a daily basis now with his press rallies. I don't watch his rallies but enjoy the questions by the press afterwards and his melt downs..

    It's the babylonbee, it's a satire site. I agree though, just saying if you didn't catch it.

    why didn't he close flights in January when he was first advised of the seriousness of the consequences? He was warned that a potential 200,00 could die yet he kept trotting out to the podium and claiming it's all under control and patting himself on the back.

    Trump just rambles and takes up air time. He doesn't really share anything new. Then when he gets a question he doesn't like he gets all pissed off about it.

    Cancelling flights to requires cancelling flights from. Airplanes don't magically appear at airports in China, they are flown there.

    It was shocking because it was so pointless and random. UK travelers are fine but EU aren't?

    Bold action my ass.

    Article didn't say they stopped outbound flights.

    They stopped UK flights shortly after I believe.

    EU is different from the UK, since Brexit.

    Who advised him? Didn't the WHO say that country bans were uncessary?

    Press secretary who held no briefings is gone. New press secretary was campaign spokesperson who on February 25 went on Fox to explain thanks to Trump's great leadership there will be no Corona virus epidemic in this country. Because Trump puts safety of America first, not like weak leadership of President Obama during Ebola.

    Check how many Americans died, how many lost jobs, how many businesses closed due to Ebola.
