We could have had customs with fheremomethers, self quarentine guidelines and PPE too. And that would have had no whiplash from the left.

Buying time is only worth something *if* the government uses that extra time to prepare. Otherwise it just shifts the curve to the right. China travel restriction went into effect on 2/2. Delay relative to counterfactual = 2-21 days. What did gov accomplish w/ that extra time?

My point is that those travel restrictions *could* have flattened the curve *if* the government used the extra time to prepare. They didn’t, the effect of the travel restrictions just shifted the curve to the right.

But we also did bupkis to control the spread of the virus here during that time

Doing one part badly isn't an argument for doing all parts badly e.g. testing was main bottleneck re: controlling domestic spread, and the reasons for that had to do w/ legacy institutional processes 'minimizing travel' is something easy to do; changing how FDA works, less so

Should have restricted flights from Europe sooner than 3/13. But remember the outrage when he did?

Let's not cherry-pick countries. We need a statistical analysis (mine is forthcoming in the journal Medical Research Archive) rather than just modeling to see how the travel bans actually worked.https://www.cato.org/blog/travel-restrictions-spread-covid-19-what-does-research-say …

For instance, S. Korea does not have a ban on China, it only has a travel restriction on Wuhan/Hubei. S. Korea has also been praised, but what can we actually learn from this individual example? https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/international-travel-document-news/1580226297.htm …
