So perhaps coronavirus existed in these African countries without being detected due to lack of testing.
There is no evidence to support this. Your racist background coupled with this assertion suggests that you don't believe medical professionals in Africa are capable of identifying novel viruses.

How do you know banning travel from these places didn't reduce the spread of corona virus in the US?
Two things.

First, there have been more than 430,000 people traveling from China since the outbreak

Second, you and Trump are the ones making the ridiculous claims that thousands of people were saved by the travel ban that never existed. Neither of you have supported this with anything other than his say so. Every study on pandemic travel bans has concluded that they have zero to minimal impact.

What does that say about Biden and the 94% of Democrats polled that now agree with the travel ban?
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

You say "now" agree as if they ever disagreed. They didn't. Doing a travel ban is the bare minimum measure that can be taken. The criticism came with Trump's travel ban that included African countries for no reason, and then his second ban on Europe that excluded the only countries where he owned properties. These were criticized for those reasons. There hasn't been a dramatic shift in either Biden's or the Democrats thinking on this subject. Last night it was the subject Sean Hannity used that consumed his lying misinformation show so it is little surprise that you're here regurgitating the same nonsense. You typically show up with threads that mirror whatever the latest nonsense is by Trump's dishonest henchmen.

If you pay any attention to the evidence for their claims, it all derives from Trump's idiotic assertion that has been debunked by multiple fact-checkers. Biden never called him Xenophobic or racist for implementing the travel ban. The fact is the ban wasn't that big of a deal and it wasn't even a full ban. Trump keeps calling it that saying he "shut it down" because he's a lying idiot who knows there are people like you out there who will eat it up.

Another pivot, more made up claims, victory is secured because Ajax simply said stuff.

From the Washington Examiner, March 5th -
The Trump administration is holding off on blocking travel from Italy or South Korea, where two of the world's major coronavirus outbreaks are occurring, and has instead implemented heightened medical screening protocols for people flying from those countries to the United States.

"Part of the reason we're still flying is because those governments have been so aggressive in accommodating the medical requirements of having a successful screening system set up," Ken Cuccinelli, who is performing the duties of deputy secretary of homeland security, told reporters on Capitol Hill on Thursday. "So, that is great cooperation we get with both Italy and Korea that, you know, we were just not as close to China as we are to these two countries."
ajax, how was Trump so sure that these two countries could completely prevent the transmission of the virus via air travel, to the US?

From the Conservative Review:

https://www.conservativereview.com/news ... e-shutoff/

“Coronavirus corruption: 430,000 flew directly from China since January; 40,000 since ‘shutoff’”

tl;dr - It doesn’t matter. Ajax would literally let Trump have his way with him if asked.
