Not sure why that is a newsworthy item. I do pray for his wife though as she's a cancer survivor and probably at high risk.

I wonder why he didn’t include the Mideast in the ban?

Trump should ban travel to/from California, Washington, New York and Massachusetts.

What happens if an American goes to Europe and then returns? Will they be quarantined?

Hanks could be a a Type II diabetic, I believe I read years ago he had a drinking problem, hope that is no longer the case.

I read elsewhere she’s positive too. Hopefully it stays mild for both of them.

I wasn’t concerned until a celebrity tested positive. It’s time to get serious! The important people are at risk now.

The latest insanity from the left is that Trump didn’t ban flights to/from the UK because of his properties there.

With insanity like this, we need to bring back insane asylums.

Watch in wonder as the wuhan virus infects leftwing areas and leftwing celebs at an astonishing rate. Hoax indeed.

Grace Hatton If you think about the virus for a moment and assume some of the claims that tens of thousands are already infected, but mostly not showing symptoms, that would suggest that in a week or two all those thousands of people would probably be just as immune as if they had been vaccinated. Some of this will take care of itself. Remember West Nile Virus? Today probably tons of folks have antibodies to it.

If we are to assume that the ChiComs are correct in that they are pretty much past this, that would probably explain it. A big "if", though.
