The fact of the matter is Trump said that it was a bad idea to allow people to enter a country that haven't done a health screening as they could be carrying a disease that we don't have in the US and people said it was racist. Now most countries are closing their borders due to the pandemic.
"The Democrats however, for strictly political reasons and because they have been pulled so far left, do NOT want Border Security. They want Open Borders for anyone to come in. This brings large scale crime and disease"
Would having a wall and not allowing people in the country who haven't been screened help or hurt in the fight against the pandemic? Maybe instead of calling everything "racist" people should actually look at the data and follow basic laws. Again, liberals claim they are the party of science but do everything based on slogans and people are dying as a result
What the hell are you talking about? Trump isnt being accused of being racist, because of that. He is being accused of being racist for other things related to this. Nobody is particularly advocating for open borders at this time.
Yes, screening would help. Screen everyone who comes into a country is not a bad idea.
Building a wall is futile. That is why reasonable people oppose it. There are so many ways to circumvent a wall they simply put aren't effective for the scale Trump wants one with. And there is a ton of academic papers written on this. Paperweight.
Science is a methodology, not a buzzword. And democrats got multiple factions in it.
Neoliberals are very scientific. As they are more empirically driven than ideologically driven.
Progressives are not particularly scientific. Being more ideologically driven than empirically.
But both of these are far, FAR more scientifically minded than Trumpettes.
And an FYI, merely looking at data, is not scientific thinking. That is what most pseudoscience does actually. Scrutinizing data, however is what a scientifically minded person would do.
I am no american, but I wouldnt go around assuming Americans (who now have the highest number of confirmed cases) are more likely to carry the virus. Just because they are american. Because of the following.
1. The data only shows the number of confirmed cases. There could be many current unconfirmed cases which could turn out positive.
2. The data could be lower in certain countries due to government censorship/deception.
3. The number of cases is a very small part of a much larger picture. Epidemologists don't spend 4 years in college learning how to look at a basic graph. It goes deeper, way, way deeper. A number alone wont give you a very clear picture of what is going on.
