Live updates: Spread of coronavirus in U.S. appears inevitable, health officials warn
The Washington Post ^ | February 25th, 2020 | By Erica Werner, Lenny Bernstein, Lena H. Sun and Miriam Berger

Health officials in the United States warned Tuesday that the spread of the novel coronavirus in the country appears inevitable, marking a significant change in tone as global travel disruptions continued to worsen, South Korea neared 1,000 cases and Iran reported at least 15 deaths.

China and South Korea announced new cases of the coronavirus, raising concerns in both nations about how long it could take for normal life to return. South Korea confirmed 144 more cases, bringing its total to 977, the most outside China. President Moon Jae-in visited the city of Daegu, where more than half of the country’s confirmed cases have been found, Tuesday afternoon local time.

Travel disruptions continued to spread, with the United Arab Emirates, one of the world’s most critical aviation hubs, saying it would suspend all travel to and from Iran, where authorities confirmed that the death toll has reached at least 15. In Iran, an opposition lawmaker and the deputy health minister tested positive for the virus as the death toll there climbed.

Early Tuesday, global markets appeared to stabilize after Monday’s heavy losses — until the Dow Jones fell 600 points, wiping out a 150-point gain.

As usual the US CDC is a full month behind the curve.

NOW is the time to close all US Ports of entry for all non-citizen travelers, with a mandatory quarantine for citizens seeking entry.

It's the only way to contain this virus.

Otherwise most in country will learn first hand whether it is a dangerous threat.

So true. I'm prepped up to the best of my ability & now I'm storing additional food for the kids & g'kids. I told them to take this serious a two weeks ago and they laughed at me. Oh well.

I don’t think they are a month behind the curve.

I think they have been way ahead of the curve. Just not with us.

For a second, can you imagine NYC being told this thing is coming. It would be madness. It would make the looting in NOLA during Katrina look tame.

No...they are going to do their best Baghdad Bob imitation.

Stop all international flights. Do teleconferencing instead. Or Skype. As an added benefit, those birth tourism flights will stop too.

It’s too late to close the ports. It’s in the country as much as it will be.

“All that marijuana makes him paranoid.”

Another stupid one.

I don’t smoke dope. Or drink. Or smoke tobacco.

Doubtful that China would share any military tech with the IRGC. More likely it was just international commerce, without precautions being taken.

I have — yet another — dumb question:

Where are the cases in India, Africa and South America?

Surely by now the Wuhan Flu has spread to there as well?
