The US restricted travel from China on February 2 and from Europe on March 13, but by March 8, Covid-19 was already circulating among the community in New York City and, by March 15, community transmission of the virus was already widespread, the analysis found.What was circulating most closely matched the strain of the virus circulating in Europe, not China, which President Donald Trump has repeatedly blamed for not preventing its spread to the US.
"Read MoreThe new study looked at data collected by the New York Department of Health and Mental Hygiene between March 1 and 20, the early days of the pandemic in the US. The department announced on March 8 that there was sustained community transmission.The department examined specimens taken from people who went to the emergency room with flu-like symptoms. Of the 544 specimens tested, 36, or 6.6%, were positive for the novel coronavirus.
Such bullshit
FakeNewsMedia
Those who pay attention already knew this
petrajay8
petrajay8 And who stopped them.....Schumer and Pelosi. And the ambassador that allowed planes to come in.
Xhina has been dealing with the virus since 2005.
Well No shit
I analyzed that in real-time when people were reporting 'I flew in from China and nobody checked me'. The timing + the heads-up = mass exodus of panicked incubaters.
Lol, and cnn called trump a racist when he banned travel from China.
Wasnt it CNN, Nancy Pelosi calling Trump a racist when he stop travel early? Cant win with the fake news bullshit every day
And when the travel restrictions came in January CNN cried racism!!
Really, sooooo, was that also linked to why Obama’s stockpiles of PPE was shipped to China. And his refusal to adequately ramp up the Stafford act? Heeeeeeee, juuust might be doing all of this because Putin is coaching him!
And NY should have shut down and kept their residents in their state.
No, duh.
I guess somebody was wrong when he said the ban was ethnocentric and unneccessary.
Trump tried to close the borders and was called a RACIST!
Meanwhile Pelosi was encouraging ppl to hang out in Chinatown, Coumo was sticking Covid patients into nursing homes, and the WHO was saying ppl couldn't transmit it... But Orange man bad...
So you’re saying, if china wouldn’t have covered up and lied about the virus, and warned the rest of the world about it like decent human beings, we wouldn’t be going through this crap. Sad the Chinese people having to live under communism. Our future, if Biden wins.
The main problem started with Trump believing EVERYTHING our enemies tell him. Such an idiot!
That's what happens when you have a idiot in the white house
You criticized it as racist when he did it so just bow out of this one.
Closing border/airports DOESN'T help to prevent an Disease to spread...EVER! By the time the World realized there was a new Virus that could be transmited human-to-human It ALREADY was in ALL continents
So much for realDonaldTrump only action he took being soooo great.
Oh
That explains the rush to silence and discredit the CDC. TrumpLiesAmericansDie
If only WHO Mid Jan never said no human to human transmission countries could have acted sooner.
Sounds like the CDC weren't doing their job
Lolx CNN this will make you look pathetic.
Wait, I thought CNN said travel ban was racist and they don’t work! Trump went against Fauci who said not to ban travel. Thank God he did ban travel. The Fauc was wrong...so following the science would not have been good!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Democrats and their media cried racism last time Pres Trump imposed travel bans. You can’t make up the left wing Marxist hypocracy in FakeNews.
Analysis? This is common sense that anyone with half a brain could have told you.
You mean the travel bans Fauci was against, and Biden called racist? Those travel bans?
They needed a study to know that?
Burn em' to the ground CDCgov 🔥
If China and WHO hadn't lied to the world, I'm sure that would've happened.
ScottAdamsSays is going to dislike this take. 😂
But that wall was so effective...
REAAAAALLLLYY? 🤔
I hate living in the United States. We need to overthrow our government and put a trans woman of power in charge! The CDC is not racist. Trump created the virus to kill Blacks!
WHO remember when you advised against the travel bans? CNN did.
