Trump did not "stop" flights from China. The order only temporarily barred entry by foreign nationals who had traveled in China within the previous 14 days, with exceptions for the immediate family of U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
This wording did not—at all—stop people from arriving in America from China. In fact, for much of the crisis, flights from China landed in America almost daily filled with people who had been in China, but did not fit the category as Trump’s “travel ban” defined it.
Most major airlines had already suspended flights to China prior to the announcement on Jan. 31, following the lead of several major international carriers that had stopped due to the coronavirus outbreak. Delta, American and United cited a sharp drop in demand for the flights, and an earlier State Department advisory told Americans not to travel to China because of the outbreak.
Europe was the same.
Trump* disbanded the pandemic team at NSC, not CDC.
As usual the Trump* media has seized on something a blogger mistakenly posted and has claimed it is true for all opposition.
Perhaps they should not believe and repeat everything they read on the internet claiming that all of the opposition believe it.
But that would not fit the narrative and soon all would see that the Emperor had no clothes.
