Better late than never!
Yup, as opposed to a President saying that, “It will just DISAPPEAR !”.. You’re absolutely right !
@Shenea Watson As opposed to Biden saying it was racist, xenophobic and hysterical.
Please help India with their covid problem they need to wear masks they need to distance themselves do as us Americans and the people in London. Otherwise a big circle we will never get this disease in good order .
@Bri 033 To “fight” this virus, wear a mask, wash your hands, stay apart, STAY AT HOME – that’s not “technology”, simple rules “fight” this virus but people will still die.
Did people in India stay at home or did they attend super spreader events? like the religious events we hear about.
@Jay Gray Yea there was bad leadership allowing those events but even in lockdown, majority of the population lives in overcrowded villages/slums where you can’t distance or wash hands, and most don’t have access to masks. So they’re not really set up to deal with a pandemic well
Brilliant insight. Award for you 😳
@Bri 033 really ? That’s why I say help them teach them what we know to get them under control because of we don’t this virus will keep on
@Palbie Co That may be true, but it doesn’t explain all the hugging and close contact I see between mourners when they don’t HAVE to do that. I understand sadness, I’ve lost loved ones, but this is one way the virus spreads quickly. People aren’t making any attempt to stay apart, masks don’t make hugging safe. Water isn’t needed to clean hands, but hand sanitizer isn’t being provided either.
I think people in India are usually left to deal with things on their own. I don’t have faith in the leadership. They’ve had at least a year to supply people adequately with masks and hand sanitizers. As it is, it looks like medical staff don’t even have proper protection.
That’s great news!
hello your country has virus
Except when Trump did it, it was racist….
@Nouse Foraname he was careless and racist
@AllNiteLemonade you’re controlled by the media narrative. It’s sad really.
Why only most flights should be all flights praying for India 🙏🙏
@AllNiteLemonade I said I don’t.what part did you not understand. And saying you people is trying to shift your fear on me .I fear no god because I don’t believe in god I fear no man because I just don’t care
@Mutton Chops I only talk about what I see and I see a paranoiad
Person encouraging paranoia with no reason .
And trying to pretend you’re here for facts
Xeno Joe. Same commies crushed trump for it, now do the exact same thing. It’s pathetic the double standards of the left
@The hypocrisy is real b foad little baby troll account.
I have the Mordena Vaccine in me iam not scared 💪😏
The new strain has already spread to several other countries, causing surges in Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Maldives.
@Chaos opinions are not FACTS… FACT
@Laura Goldschmitt I’m British. Where are you from troll?
@AllNiteLemonade It’s my opinion and I should know if I have that opinion, so if I do think that then it’s a fact that I have that opinion. Oh, and there’s a very high likelihood that mutated strains of covid are coming in through the border thanks to Biden’s incompetence. Fact!
I guess Biden and Harris are now racist Xenophobes along with the entire Democrat Party.
Hope China gets it kills alot of Comuist party members and Chinese President XI
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉💞💞💟💟💟
Glad to hear that
@Chaos your opinion… FACT
@AllNiteLemonade actually it’s true. I have all the evidence I need and more than happy to share it with anyone who’s interested. Fact!
@Chaos let’s see some proof from an unbiased source .
@AllNiteLemonade My source is Kamala Harris as she said that Joe Biden is a segregationist. Fact!
@Chaos that doesn’t make it a fact because someone says it .. FACT!!!
Praise the Lord👍
No
Moon Peach
shhhhhh the WOKE crowd will ban you
@Alex Hamilton as if conservatives are the holy ones here 😂🤣😂🤣
F him
@I Object don’t it will make you sick fairy tales will make you sick when you get old
This restriction should have been done a long time ago. I live in a town that now has a giant population of people from India. They are a lovely people as a whole, but their culture is to gather on a very regular basis, to share food and news. These weekly gatherings have not stopped.
For some reason, they are of the belief that if they are family, it’s okay to be in close proximity to one another, nevermind that they live in separate households.
They also think that sitting down at a picnic table is a kind of timeout– that they are allowed to sit 8-10 people at a table, shoulder to shoulder. They think it’s fine to let kids wear their parent’s masks to play with other kids on the playground. And the biggie is that it’s traditional to go back to India for a few months each year. None of this makes for stopping the pandemic.
@Bat Boy blaming your actions on what someone else said is what got society where it currently is.
@Leslie Standifer – “my actions”, what are “my actions”?
@Leslie Standifer – – facts already in history books:
1) Trump mishandled the virus outbreak into the USA
2) He lost the election
3) He is a twice impeached, disgraced, one term president.
4) He is voted the worst president in history by 157 political scholars.
5) And that is why the Democrats control both the House and Senate today.
You’re welcome 😀
@Mr. B Joe Biden has bent six ways to Sunday to be fair to everyone. He’s made this move to help protect Americans, but at the same time he’s doing his part to help in the fight for the whole world’s peoples.
Joe Biden is not a racist, but might be the first president in decades to make a real difference.
Man, my family does all that gathering, crowding, eating together etc., and they’re white. It’s part of Okie culture too. I have largely avoided family events except for major holidays, but I see a lot of people doing it, regardless of race or culture. People think “but, it’s *family* so it’s ok.” My mother has traveled out of state 3 times since the pandemic began (and in the first trip last March, before we all knew how bad this was going to be or any restrictions were in place, she took my son with her, and he brought COVID home with him, so he and I had to quarantine for several weeks).
Tuesday?? What the hell’s wrong with today. Today!
I agree .. should be in effect now.
How you gonna enforce quarantine?
What if they test positive and are American citizens .. can they still get on flight?
Not enough info in this video!
TOOOOOOOOO LATE. 😎 Indian VAriant is here! 🦇
Yeah I don’t think America understands that we’re going to need all these supplies in 6 months
That’s racist!
@Mimzy Jinx * Indian Wirus
What were you calling Donald Trump when he did this
@love bug bahahahaha! Sure, all the while he was downplaying it?
@Tom Batman and rightfully lost him reelection.. everything has a price
@AllNiteLemonade that’s funny I though election fraud lost him the election…
Well don’t I feel the fool.
@Tom Batman election fraud? When did that happen? Never saw any proof of that, and obviously nothing in court was proven or else we would know it… hmm
@AllNiteLemonade of course you never saw any proof because you walk through life with ur eyes closed to the truth.
Well we’re going to need all over supplies for self and America in about six months trust me
Much love to our brothers and sisters in India. 🙌🏼🙏🏼
The only hope our PINO has to continue without being exposed is to keep the virus going.
What took him so long to stop travel? Seriously this should of been done months ago
One thing is for certain, if the media stops talking about something the American people will forget all about it and start a new narrative.
The media could get you to eat turds. As long as you wore a mask.
@Mimzy Jinx Not me but there is a long line who will.
Tin tức hay hữu ích 😍
Finally!!!!!
Prayers and love for control over this horrible pandemic. 💕🙏🏼
