Dr. Fauci: Coronavirus Hit Italy ‘Really Badly’ Because Of ‘Chinese Tourists’

But it is xenophobic and racist to have a travel ban with China
quote:
Dr. Anthony Fauci said Wednesday that the coronavirus “hit” Italy “really badly” because of an influx of Chinese tourists.
The chief medical advisor to the president’s coronavirus task force told CNN host Chris Cuomo that Italy is still not seeing new infections of the virus decline.
quote:
“Italy is not there yet. Italy got hit really badly. Almost certainly … Italy got hit very badly because they had a large number of importations from China by Chinese tourists,” Fauci said, adding that the these visitors provided the foundation for the disease to spread.
“And before they even knew what was going on, there was enough baseline people spreading that it essentially got out of hand and it became difficult for them, as good as they are, and they’re very good, to be able to contain it … it was more mitigation.”

Which is another good indication that China is lying about everything on this topic
They claim that the vast majority of their cases came from Wuhan
You're telling me all of those Chinese tourists in Italy were from Wuhan?

Then they followed it all up with a "Hug an Asian" day there. LOLOL
Don't get me wrong, there are many Asians I'd love to hug too. One is a neighbor of mine. But I know where she's been.

I don't have the virus, so you should be okay to hug her.

This. It wasn’t just tourists.
The fashion industry in Northern Italy has imported thousands of Chinese workers for their factories in recent years. Additionally, Italy was the first western nation to sign up for Belt and Road, which brought additional Chinese nationals to the country.
Many of these people or their families traveled back to China for holidays like Chinese NY, etc in the past several months.
