So if you were travelling abroad at a time when .000015% of the world had a virus, would you know that travel would be restricted immediately and not try to get home?

How did I imply they wouldn't? The problem is exactly that travel was shut down suddenly, capriciously, and without adequate planning. It's that advisories weren't issued weeks ago. All of these repercussions were entirely predictable, but not planned for.

Weeks ago there were there were less than 100 cases in the US out of 327 million. Not all of us have a crystal ball we can look in to see the future.. big decisions like shutting down the millions who travel at a given moment take time.

No, but you know who did have the information and expertise available to him to make intelligent forecasts? The President of the United States. No crystal ball was necessary. Merely listening to many of the people in his own administration who were trying to get him to listen.

Sorry, even though I am not a fan of him, Trump doesn't have a crystal ball either, as much as your political beliefs implore you to believe. There are those who think the sky is falling and those who dismiss. The truth is dead smack in the middle.

You don't need a crystal ball. You need to listen to epidemiologists. He didn't. This isn't the world's first pandemic. People have studied epidemics and pandemics for decades.

If you look at the weather report, it tells you there will be rain, and you refuse to take an umbrella, the reason that you got wet wasn't your lack of a crystal ball.

And the weather is wrong how often? I don't think a virus, invisible to the naked eye, can be compared to a weather forecast.

And your expertise on viruses comes from where?
