You directly stated that 430k came in since the restrictions, suggesting that the restrictions didn't do anything to stem the tide of people entering from China. A 95% decrease isn't a failure, and it's hard to say that it didn't slow the spread of the virus. It may not have been the proper focus, I don't know if anyone really knows that for sure. Just like it's hard to say that telling healthy people to stay home is necessary, but people will use any improvement in the situation to defend that policy. There are many confounding factors, to base your opinions of the situation on political affiliations is disingenuous at best.</p></blockquote><p></p>
