Fauci is wrong: Italy did close its border to China

...

President Trump has repeatedly pointed to his order, effective Feb. 2, to restrict Chinese citizens from entering the United States as an important step in halting the spread of the novel coronavirus.

The Republican National Committee on Friday in a tweet distributed a clip of Fauci, the longtime head of the National Institutes of Health unit for infectious diseases, echoing Trump’s rhetoric. The RNC framed Fauci’s comments this way: “Dr. Fauci responds to question about differences between U.S. and Italy, says @realDonaldTrump stopping travel very early from China ‘has gone a long way’ in fight against coronavirus.”

Indeed, in the interview, Fauci suggested that a big difference between the United States and Italy, where the death toll has soared above 3,000, is that Italy did not shut down travel from China. “They had an open border, they let people in,” Fauci said.

But that’s simply wrong.

Haven't seen this posted here. I think Fauci needs to be called on this and given a chance to clear it up.
