FOX News: House pulls bill that would rescind prior Trump travel ban amid coronavirus outbreak
House leadership has pulled legislation from the floor that would have repealed President Trump’s prior travel bans, amid efforts to focus attention on a coronavirus response bill, Fox News has learned.
Democrats made the decision late Wednesday to delay a vote on the No Ban Act to make way for new legislation to help families affected by the virus, said Benjamin Suarato, spokesman for bill sponsor Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif. That bill is in limbo amid GOP opposition.

White House Knew Coronavirus Would Be A 'Major Threat' — But Response Fell Short

The simple fact is that Britain is a separate customs and immigration entity or area than Europe since Brexit.
Anyone from Italy if they left certain cities or regions of Italy before quarantine can travel anywhere in Europe.
Italy has a very high prevalence of corona flu. Britain does not. Not yet anyway. Britain has 30X less cases than Italy and almost 100X less deaths.
"but" of course parrots are not good with numbers or punctuation
Playing politics with Wuhan Virus burned the Dems pretty hard. Good. Reflexively hurling the cocked-and-locked demonizations, "Racist!" and "Xenophobe!" and "Incompetent!" without any hesitation or forethought. Naming Trump a racist for describing the Wuhan Virus the 'Wuhan Virus'. Even calling it a "Foreign Virus" sent CNN into vapors.
We are lucky to have a president that will make the tough and politically incorrect decisions. If the Dems were in charge, we'd be arguing over the ratio of gender-identified persons of color on every medical board involved. Letting the virus run amok just like what happened in 2009. But the difference would be the flowery coverage by US news media even as thousands died. If they covered it at all.
I attribute the worst possible motives to these people. "Never let a crisis go to waste". "This is an opening for the Democrats".
The Democrats and their media brethren need to stop it. Stand down and stop the manufactured hysteria. Stop the insults and fear mongering. They've talked the nation into an economic panic and scared the population into cancelling virtually every major sports event and festival in the country. Good job. /Maybe they can grind the nation into a depression and they take power again. Just needs to last til November.
But I guess they saw some internal polling that scared them into doing the right thing for once.
