The White House attempted damage control, calling relocation “temporary,”
It’s the usual pandemonium we saw in the first term. People who are loyal to Trump started trying to make what he said sound even somewhat sensible. But then Trump came back out and contradicted the walk-backs.

Racism is when you treat individuals not according to their own characteristics, but the characteristics (correctly assessed or not) attributed to their race. But public health efforts are not about individuals and often need to use racial background to help provide the care most likely to succeed.
