Lyndsey Fifield: I Looked Back to See How the Media Greeted Trump's Announcement of a Travel Ban From China. The Media's Almost-Universal Reaction Was That Such a Move Was Overkill and That the Chinese Virus Was No Big Deal. Okay, I made a bad call, Ripley. A few of the tweets are below, but she's got more at the link. A few of the tweets are below, but she's got more at the link.

Many in the scientific community beclowned themselves because their hatred for Trump blinded them�and does to this day. pic.twitter.com/QjF8zfkCB0 — Lyndsey Fifield (@lyndseyfifield) March 19, 2020 You. Guys.



The travel ban to China was driven by

�conservative lawmakers and far-right supporters of the president. Public health experts, however, warn that the move could do more harm than good.� pic.twitter.com/fHqXqyJKuE — Lyndsey Fifield (@lyndseyfifield) March 19, 2020 And I know, I know, it's @BuzzFeed... but let's reflect on just how widespread this disinformation really was�that this �global health law expert� just couldn't help himself from slamming Trump and calling these measures an �overreaction� pic.twitter.com/HbVsCNiQq3 — Lyndsey Fifield (@lyndseyfifield) March 19, 2020 Here's another threat I've meant to link for days: This user, four thousand Americans. 22 million were infected. Here's another threat I've meant to link for days: This user, BodiazRising, went back to CNN's archives to compare how CNN covered the deadly H1N1/Swine Flu epidemic that occurred on Obama's watch -- and which killedAmericans. 22 million were infected. Update: I was wrong, I was looking at an incomplete count. It is estimated that 9,000 to 18,000 Americans died due to H1N1. Thanks to jhawk90 for tipping me that my numbers were too low.
