Even though Donald Trump had banned travel from China, there is no evidence that it helped save many lives in America.
Experts said that Trump's decision to restrict all foreign travelers from China, and to quarantine Americans returning from China for two weeks, had a short-lived impact at best. Jeffrey Levi, a public health expert at George Washington University, said that when Trump had banned the travel, the virus had already spread to other countries. Chris Beyrer, a professor of epidemiology and international health at Johns Hopkins University, said that the President's order was too late because the virus had already been reported in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and Toronto as well as 26 other countries.
