There are painful lessons here. Hopefully they will be learned next time around. Although history raises some doubts about that.

If you want to stop a pandemic from spreading to your country, start with a travel ban and make it absolutely airtight.

    The data shows that 3,200 flights flew from China to the U.S., including more than 1,000 flights that went to Los Angeles and nearly 500 each landed in San Francisco and New York – all three among the eventual hot spots of the COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S. More than 100 flights from China arrived in six other American cities: Chicago, Seattle, Detroit, Dallas, Washington, D.C., and Newark, N.J.

When a key detail is omitted, there's often/usually a reason. The linked article gives not time-frame for that, "3,200 flights flew from China to the U.S.". One has to click the ABC News article link in the OP article, https://abcnews.go.com/Health/disaster-motion-flights-coronavirus-ravaged-countries-landed-us/story?id=70025470 , to find this information:

From December through March, as severe outbreaks cropped up in China and then Italy and Spain, among others, thousands of flights from the hard-hit nations poured into U.S. cities, according to an ABC News analysis of more than 20 million flight records obtained from the tracking service Flightradar-24.

Hello! China did not announce to the world the outbreak in Wuhan until December 31st! So flights from China to the US during the month of December were before China told the world anything! Why did ABC and FrontPageMag deceptively include December flight data?

Hello! The China travel ban was not announced until January 31st, becoming effective February 2nd. So flights from China to the US during the month of January were ALL before the travel ban. Why did ABC and FrontPageMag deceptively include January flight data?

On January 17th, the Trump Administration started screening passengers for symptoms of illness at LAX, SFO, and JFK. While not a perfect measure, this was before China/WHO admitted human-human transmission had happened. It also would have reduced the number of infected people moving about freely. Why did ABC and FrontPageMag deceptively omit this fact?

On February 3rd, the chief of WHO said that travel bans should not be imposed. And around the same Biden claimed Trump was acting out of xenophobia. Why did ABC and FrontPageMag deceptively omit these facts about the context in which Trump acted?

ABC Skews is part of the TDS-infested MSM, so their deception is unsurprising. But why did FrontPageMag join in ABC Skews' deception? Lies for clicks!
