    Lol that’s way more work than the US is able to handle at the moment. I’ll take imperfect decisions now rather than hypothetical perfect decisions in the future. Also, you’re the one bringing up racism.

      I am bringing up racism, as so much of the support for this ban is racially motivated. The Republicans have been using sinophobia as a wedge to whip its own base into a “yellow peril” frenzy, with COVID being the real catalyst.

      This isn’t an imperfect, but well meaning decision. It’s xenophobia mixed with American social media oligarch protectionism.
