Misinformation: "It's February 3rd, Australia and the USA closed their borders to China"

1. Taking a connecting flight via another country to the US was not banned. Taiwan, on the other hand, banned all Chinese citizens from entering - from all countries.

2. The US only blocked Chinese citizens from arriving via direct flights from China to the US, but American citizens (and some others) were allowed: "Since then [the ban], nearly 40,000 Americans and other authorized travelers have made the trip" [0].

3. The administration did not setup stringent/effective screening for arriving passengers with symptoms or follow ups for the 430,000 people who arrived directly from China until April 4: "430,000 People Have Traveled From China to U.S. Since Coronavirus Surfaced" [0]
