Adhering strictly to that criteria, China and India should both be completely wiped out.

All criteria has to be taken into almost any scientific consideration.
I do not know how much travel has been curtailed this year, but in a normal year, 14 million people/year travel back and forth between Texas' 2 biggest metro areas...auto-airline-train travel. Houston and Dallas/Ft Worth.
Texas is probably not the best demographic to use as a comparison tho.
According to data from the US Census Bureau, a total of 10 US cities have a population that has surpassed the 1 million milestone. Of these 10 cities, California and Texas account for 60%, with each being home to three cities each that have a population of over 1 million. Texas also has the distinction of having the largest number of the fastest-growing cities with a total of six out of the top 13. Also, half of the top ten cities with the largest population gains were located in Texas, although the city that gained the most new residents throughout 2013 and 2014 was New York City, which is also the most populous city in the country. Aside from Houston, a number of other cities in Texas are highly populous. Dallas and San Antonio each have populations of more than a million, while Fort Worth, Austin, and El Paso each have well over 500,000 residents. Fort Worth also had the highest growth rate of the cities in Texas at 2.34%."
The above stats are several years old.

Speaking of contrary, it is you who are not seeking answers.

I wonder how much Trump would be tolerated if he did this?
There is a reason term limits are in place.

Are you referring to a past President campaigning for someone else who is currently running for the position? If it was for someone from an opposing political party, I could certainly see some eyebrows being raised... but honestly, what Barack Obama is doing doesn't seem unusual IMO at all.

Theoretically, yes.
But for the reasons stated by Rinselberg, not for long.
