Starting Jan. 5, people flying from China will need a negative COVID-19 test within two days of their departure in order to enter the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday.
The newly announced restrictions come amid what the CDC called a “surge” in cases of COVID-19 in China as well as a “lack of adequate and transparent” data being reported by the Chinese government. Given this, the CDC highlighted concerns about being unable to monitor newly emerging variants of the virus [ABC News].
The Singapore Straits Times reports there is not the result of a new variant in China. "A Dec 28 statement from Gisaid, a global data science initiative, confirmed no new variants have yet emerged from the current outbreak in China. [Singapore Straits Times]". Evidently, the spike in Covid cases is more a result of a forceful government mandated use of an ineffective "vaccine" [LA Times] and not allowing people to confront the virus with their own immune systems.
In January 2020, Mr Trump announced a plan to restrict travel from China in response to the initial COVID-19 virus spread. Hours after the announcement, Biden, on the campaign trail in Iowa, said, “This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysterical xenophobia and fear-mongering to lead the way instead of science.” He used the same wording in a tweet the next day. “We need to lead the way with science — not Donald Trump’s record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering,” Biden tweeted [Fox News].
Obviously restricting travel from China is sound policy. The blind, leftist media is defending Mr Biden the way they attacked Mr Trump for the same policy. Apparently Mr Biden has benefited from their relentless support. [Rasmussen Reports]
