430,000 People Have Traveled From China to U.S. Since Coronavirus Surfaced – The New York Times

Mr. Trump has repeatedly suggested that his travel measures impeded the virus s spread in the United States. I do think we were very early, but I also think that we were very smart, because we stopped China, he said at a briefing on Tuesday, adding, That was probably the biggest decision we made so far. Last month, he said, We re the ones that kept China out of here.

But the analysis of the flight and other data by The New York Times shows the travel measures, however effective, may have come too late to have kept China out, particularly in light of recent statements from health officials that as many as 25 percent of people infected with the virus may never show symptoms. Many infectious-disease experts suspect that the virus had been spreading undetected for weeks after the first American case was confirmed, in Washington State, on Jan. 20, and that it had continued to be introduced. In fact, no one knows when the virus first arrived in the United States.
