Remember when conservatives believed the government shouldn't use government power to force a corporation to bend to the will of the government?
That was before 2017, when the conservative movement hadn't contorted itself to a cult of personality around an insane lying narcissistic grifting anti-American demagogue.

Payback is Hell, isn't it?
You're the moron who denied that Trump knew about COVID in November, 2019. Now, Marjorie Traitor Greene confirms it. Are you going to call her a liar, too?
IF you recall, China, supported by the World Health Organization told the world that it could not be transferred between humans...in 2020.
Here are some other sources and links you can use to educate yourself. You are obviously ignorant about the subject.
Remember when Biden said travel bans were “xenophobic?” He just instituted a travel ban on India.

WASHINGTON, DC- Remember when President Trump implemented a travel ban last year and Biden accused him of “hysteria, xenophobia and fear-mongering?” Yeah, good times. Apparently Biden forgot…or he’s an abject hypocrite. Probably a little of both.
Didn't Biden say travel bans were "xenophobic?" So why did he just institute a travel ban on India?

China slams Trump's coronavirus travel limits: 'Not a gesture of goodwill'
Published February 1, 2020
By Joe McDonald, Sam McNeil

[...]
On Friday, the United States declared a public health emergency and President Donald Trump and an order barring entry to foreign nationals, other than immediate family of American citizens and permanent residents, who visited China within the last 14 days, which scientists say is the virus’s longest incubation period.
'Unfriendly comments'
China criticized the U.S. controls, which it said contradicted the WHO’s appeal to avoid travel bans, and “unfriendly comments” that Beijing was failing to cooperate.
“Just as the WHO recommended against travel restrictions, the U.S. rushed to go in the opposite way. Certainly not a gesture of goodwill,” said foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying.
WHO Secretary-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in Geneva that despite the emergency declaration, there is “no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade.”

Coronavirus: China’s 17 day delay in releasing genome sequence of COVID-19
Health authorities have issued a dire warning about coronavirus as it continues to spread rapidly across China and the world.
Staff writers and wires
news.com.au FEBRUARY 13, 20207:23AM
17 DAY DELAY
There was a 17 day delay in the release of critical information about coronavirus during the crucial early stages of the outbreak, it’s been revealed.
A group of scientists is now calling for changes in the way new viruses are reported.
In a letter to medical journal
The Lancet, the scientists said one of the important lessons from the outbreak was a delay in releasing information.
“The Chinese authorities ruled out SARS and MERS, as well as a few other non-coronaviruses, on January 5, and confirmed a novel coronavirus as a potential cause on January 9,” they said in the Lancet.
“However, the genome sequence — crucial for rapid development of diagnostics needed in an outbreak response — was not released until January 12, 2020 — 17 days after the preliminary sequence data were obtained.”

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (KRON) – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was in San Francisco on Monday spending several hours visiting Chinatown to encourage people to visit the shops and restaurants there amid fears of the coronavirus.
Business in Chinatown has really slowed down over the last month, mainly due to concerns about the coronavirus.
Pelosi did a walking tour of the area starting in the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Shop.
She also visited several other businesses and talked to people.
Neighbors, including the owner of the cookie shop, who says the last month has been difficult.
“Business is slow. People don’t want to come, they are scared,” Kevin Chan said.
Pelosi also took this opportunity to encourage people to come back to Chinatown.
“You should come to Chinatown. Precautions have been taken by our city. We know there is concern about tourism throughout the world but we think it’s very safe to be in Chinatown and hopefully, others will come,” Pelosi said.

WHO haunted by January tweet saying China found no human transmission of coronavirus
The World Health Organization (WHO) is now haunted by a tweet it sent earlier this year when it cited Chinese health officials who claimed there had been no human transmissions of the novel
coronavirus within the country yet.
The Jan. 14 tweet came less than two months before WHO
declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic.
"Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel
#coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in
#Wuhan,
#China," the organization had said.
It also relied on information from Chinese health authorities who have been accused of obscuring facts and figures during the course of the outbreak.

Nolte: A Mere 8 Days Ago Joe Biden Was Still Attacking Trump’s Travel Bans
JOHN NOLTE 20 Mar 2020
A mere eight days ago, Joe Biden was still vocally opposing President Donald Trump’s travel bans from Europe, and even China, as racist. In other words, if Biden was the president, we can’t begin to imagine how much worse things would look in American today thanks to President Biden’s refusal to keep people out from the very same places where the Chinese coronavirus rages.

WATCH: NYC Mayor de Blasio Gets Nailed for Telling New Yorkers to Ignore the Wuhan Coronavirus
Beth Baumann
Posted: Mar 29, 2020 1:35 PM
On Sunday, CNN's Jake Tapper put New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) on blast for telling New Yorkers not to worry about the Wuhan coronavirus. Tapper played four separate clips of de Blasio encouraging New Yorkers to go about their daily lives, even as recently as March 13th, less than two weeks ago.
"In retrospect, is that message, at least in part, to blame for how rapidly the virus has spread across the city?" Tapper asked.
De Blasio instantly deflected.
"You know, Jake, we should not be focusing, in my view, on anything looking back, on any level of government right now," the mayor explained. "This is just about how we save lives going forward. We are all working – everybody – is working with the information we had and trying, of course, to avoid panic.w
