[其他] US travel bans came too late for New York City, CDC study finds

The United States restricted travel from China on February 2 and Europe from Europe on March 13. However, by March 8, covid-19 had spread in New York city communities. By March 15, the virus had been widely spread in the community. The virus that spreads most closely matches the strain that spreads in Europe rather than in China. President Donald Trump has repeatedly accused the virus of failing to stop its spread to the United States. According to the report, when the trump administration imposed travel restrictions on Europe, the import of the virus and the spread of the disease in the community had begun in New York City. When the epidemic began in New York City, testing was limited, which allowed people with no cases to transmit the virus. Trump repeatedly pointed out that his travel ban was evidence of his government's effective response to the pandemic, claiming on Tuesday that "we have saved millions of people, possibly millions of lives."
