When Trump called COVID "the Chinese virus," it led to a rise in anti-Asian attacks.

This racist and ineffective policy from the Biden White House will have the same devastating effect. Shame on you!

Requiring negative tests for flights from a single country is ineffective because the US is already letting it rip and generating variants, and also because people travel everywhere, so variants that may become dominant in China will still reach the US via other countries.

It’s just the same story over and over. When will we learn that once a virus is established in one place (wherever that might be) it’s already everywhere? Only sane public health measures do anything at that point (universal access to testing, required masking inside, air circulation requirements, paid sick leave, etc).

We could try being proactive for once, but apparently that’s too much to ask

It’s a virus, not a people. And it’s most likely already here
