what a NERVE the USA is the worst country on the face of the earth for KILLING its own people no other country has done such a bad job than the USA

Before entering our country, right?

According to Biden, Psaki and KJP, that is racist!

Everyone will have Covid this January, just like last January.

You people are straight up losers. Failures as journalists. You should have been writing and pushing for this to happen a long time ago, poop for brains.

This is VACCINE disaster.

Won't help.. Guessing just like in most parts of the world get a fake negative printout will not be difficult in the least. New Zealand had and has the right idea, ounce of prevention & all that jazz

Back to square one.. USA is one of the last countries in the World to do that nonsense anymore…

Ban them. Shut off commerce. I like clothes and electronics made in India, Malaysia, Vietnam and Jordan.

It’ll definitely work this time!!!

Xenophobic, just like last time…🤔

JonLemire Why not immediately?

Why wait?

LucasFoxNews Great… all the infected have a week to get here. If you can’t be ready with a new process until Jan 5 the why not bar any flight from China and any entry to anyone with Chinese passport until then too. I’m no being Xenophobic. Let’s stop the spread by denying entry until ready.

It's all one big show. You are watching a show and the world is the stage

How is this still a thing?

Why wait?

JonLemire Two days before tells you NOTHING.

WHCOS So not over?

That used to be xenofobia.

Too late…flights arriving in Italy with 59% of passenger with C19 already

Why not sooner?

Why can't the United States say No to Chinese flights? Do you disregard people's health just because you like China's renminbi? Remember how Trump lost the 2020 election? That's right, because of COVID in China. And now, Biden may lose the 2024 election because of COVID too

I heard that on the flight from China to Italy, half of the Chinese people were COVID infected (positive) Now, the Chinese are coming to the US to drop biological and chemical weapons again. Just like three years ago, China wants to launch a biochemical war on the world

Chinese CCP after dissemination of Covid pushed ridiculous Zero Covid policy…and now 180 in its policies.. West must stop accepting their travelers till further notice…‼️

Xenophobia

why jan 5th...it's an evolving situation, take action now

I’m old enough to remember when Biden called the previous president a racist for doing that.

JustinTrudeau melaniejoly marcomendicino

and isnt this racist or just when republicans do it ...fn clowns

but not at the southern border?

MarkLevineNYC Why just China?

Too little too late. The variant is already here. Buckle up, folks.

Why not now?

JonLemire betcha a person from china could go get a covid test, buy a ticket, fly to NYC, clear customs, all quicker than a Southwest passenger could fly from Boston to Denver

How many sick will come in the next eight days to spread the contagion?!!!

It also reflects a replay of 2020. An excuse to reissue a Virus and some Lockdowns, and to deem some political heroes so they are re-elected in 2024. That's what I see at least.

We hold positive immigrants in certain jails. Why don't we just have BP fly them back over with their kids? We can drop them at their own embassies to work out with them how they will legally get here. Do you know how long it takes a Chinese person to bring their own child here?

That might well be to late.

LiberalHypocrisy

I hope the UK will follow suit, first time round we were very slow.

Good policy, but if the US is not requiring the same from every other country’s visitors it’s discrimination.

Why not today?

WHCOS כל הבית הלבן על הזין שלי. המלחמה רק מתחילה.

WHCOS

What about those crossing the southern border. Do they need a negative COVID-19 test result to enter?

If this was Trump doing the would call him a racist

So, hurry before you have to be tested! Meanwhile, I'll be at the grocery store buying toilet paper. 😐

that's racist

They never want it to end.

As always, we do everything too late (it’s pointless anyway because COVID is rampant already in US—at essentially the same levels as China in some areas). But why wait until Jan 5? We are the dumbest country w/ inept leaders. Economy doomed until we protect our workforce

RACIST!!!!

This is racist and xenophobic

The China Virus is back.

StopAsianHate

Why is that just now happening? WHCOS Shouldn't it have started months ago?

But when Trump did this it was racist. 🤔

Yesterday once more

Wonder why they didn’t chose Jan 6?

It’s a forever scamdemic. But it’s all over if everyone says NO

It's going to be a little late

'All air passengers two years and older originating from China will be required to get a test no more than two days before their departure from China, Hong Kong or Macau and show a negative test results to the airlines upon departure'- US Centers for Disease Control & Prevention

ericgarland The Roaring Twenties truly are a slow burn apocalypse

RUSSIA IS A TERRORIST STATE 🚽

This is xenophobic!!! Ahhh how dare they!! racists!!

I need a long term partner to live with, you can contact me.

Xenophobia!!!! Liberal racism rears it’s ugly head yet again!!!!

good thing theyre waiting until the 5th. bc it certainly couldnt have started the day china ended their zero covid policy. the USA ..always a day late and a dollar short

WHCOS Klain RT’ing his boss’s xenophobia to make sure everyone can see the Asian hate. Well done Ronnie!

ericgarland

Just send them back

I seem to remember someone implemented this same policy almost 3 years ago and the Democrats cried Racist … What changed?

Useless and racist.

Why not immediately?

The whole world needs to do this…….

Thorough screening is crucial. Lets pray they don't bring to us new more virulent COVID-19 variants. BTW, Can we afford another COVID-19 shutdown?

LucasFoxNews Now so the southern border

That should start TODAY!!!!

Why not immediately?

It's okay, as China still requires all travelers to the country to submit a pre-departure Covid-19 test.

Why?

Little freaking late for this don't ya think?

Back to the future, it seems.

Give them a week to hurry in?

Why wait until Jan 5th 50% arriving on a flight to Milan tested positive.

They are the ones that invented the virus! Lol..

It’s ok, they can just come through the southern border🤷

LOL, COVID was not a hoax, this is!

🤣 The plague country demand Chinese people to come clean. China should cap travel permit to the US at 100 per day.

WHCOS But why, Ron? Your boss has said “We have the tools! Covid doesn’t control our lives anymore!”

RPKReport Xenophobic, right?

Handy timing

But not if they come in illegally

WHCOS

So run on toilet paper?
