>> Italy banned flights from China the exact same day Trump did.

It is far more complex than that. And you know it.

The mistake made by Italy and the US was not shutting down international travel, period. Fauci spoke to this tonight on the Levin show.

The US failure was in not shutting down travel to/from Europe at the same time it did from China. By the time China was shut down, travel to Europe had already spread the disease to Europe, which we still couldn’t see.

In retrospect, every border should have been closed instantly, with travel permitted only after testing or quarantine.
