[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1645031, member: 38590"] The travel ban was considered racist and xenophobic because it had no basis in science. At the time it was enacted, the virus had already gone beyond China. There were active cases in the US. Once the cows are out there's no point in closing the gate. The ban didn't protect anyone, it was just another way to thumb our nose at China. The greatest failure from government was inconsistent messaging. Trump bears the brunt of that blame. He downplayed the threat, he told people it would just go away, he insisted that states lift restrictions, he refused to promote masks, he peddled fake cures, he refused to cancel his in-person rallies, etc. He led a lot of his fans into thinking the virus wasn't even real, or that it wasn't dangerous. Now that he's been proven wrong on that count, he's trying to gaslight them into thinking he handled it well from the beginning. Sure, there is plenty of blame to go around. The CDC really botched the messaging on masks. State and local governments made some costly errors. But in the end, the blame for a dysfunctional ship falls on the captain. It's his job to provide clear leadership and structure. [/QUOTE]
