Why was it a tough decision gor Trump to close off Italy. He locked down China in a New York minute.

In this politically correct era, it's better to be sorry than safe.

Don't look now, but Germany, France, and Spain each passed the 1,000 infected mark. This is where South Korea and Italy were ten days ago.

exactly. What would screening do at this point? Infection is widespread and most is asymptomatic or mild.. It is still cold and flu season. There are literally dozens of different illnesses that cause sniffles cough and fever circulating now. There would be no way to differentiate between these at an airport.

People warned pc will kill us all .
Well it may take a chunk of the population now.

Non PC places will survive nicely Singapore , Hong Kong , Taiwan, and probably China . They just did the right thing and screw the
economics and the selfish demands.
We are too weak and lack the will and pc demands
Tonights press conference had no solutions and was just weak and pc bound and
uninterested politicians .
We need real action not people with no determination .

Thanks for injecting sanity into this thread, Mom MD. The hysteria on FR is troubling. I’m beginning to suspect that the deep state Soros trolls have taken over our FR home.

I think that is what is happening already, quarantining potentially Corona Patients.

Your definition of potentially Corona is very different from the Vice Presidents, and he has most concise information.

Because we all care what you think. Geez

I would respond to that if I had any idea what you are referring to. But in any case I thought FR was a place to trade ideas, I know I’m in the minority here on this topic. Maybe you should just stop reading my posts. Or maybe you should explain to my why I am mistaken.

Italy and Trump:

Just my take. Shutting down travel between the U.S. and Europe is going to meet a lot of resistance from the establishment and probably the business community as well.

But as things progress I’m thinking he will be strongly advised to do so by the CDC folks. If they do I expect Trump to do so, perhaps for some significant exceptions.

“No test of any kind and when she stepped off the plan in the US nothing.”

She at least had to go through customs and from what I’m hearing they are using infrared sensors to detect anyone with a higher temp.

He said no test or questions. Others are saying the same thing.

The CDC COVID-19 test kit produces results in four hours.

Four hours would just be an inconvenience to travelers.

Plenty of trolls here on FR. They are becoming more obvious now because they mistakenly think we are receptive to their nay saying.

They should be dealt with by the mods.

Ow about reading the crap you post before posting it.

Thepiece is full of ambiguity.

Phrases such as “some have reported” and “it is believed” run throughout.

This is Trump hating fake News

Take a breath - no, wait, that thought is obviously terrifying for you - better just hold your breath - if you acn find a safe place to do the initial inhale...

Getting kinda tired of anyone who expresses concern about this being labeled a “troll”.

Many of us have been here a LONG time, long before CV-19 became an issue.

If you’re bothered by us trying to discuss what could be one of the biggest events of any of our lifetimes, it’s simple - go read a different thread.

FR is quickly becoming unusable on this topic with all the naysayers and conspiracy theories (”it’s all just to get Trump!” - like, Italy would quarantine their ENTIRE COUNTRY to do that. Sure.) Reddit and their mostly (way) younger audience, for God’s sake is actually more sensible and focused on this than FR. When would you expect THAT to happen?
