Had he not put in place the travel restrictions it would have just shifted what were currently experiencing forward a bit without much of a change in outcome. It could have been helpful, but not on its own. i.e. buying time is only useful if you actually do something with it. What the time bought us was that we got to see what happened in Italy. California and Washington, for instance, saw what was happening in Italy and were able to take precautions early enough to flatten the curve a lot. New York and New Jersey are about half the cases in the country and less than 10% of the population. Without those 6 weeks we get socked much worse and more of the country hits the peak at the same time causing us to run out of resources. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:936679896] in Politics C...
