What a mess.

We should have locked down all flights from Italy and S. Korea once the outbreaks were identified there.

I can’t fathom why Trump didn’t make that call. Closing only ONE barn door (China) while leaving open two barn doors (Italy, S. Korea) may have been the singular most stupid thing he’s ever done.

In the meantime, Israel is quarantining EVERY SINGLE PERSON flying into their country from the outside for 14 days.

When Israel is making better decisions than the US Government, something is not right.

I have been calling for limiting flights to and from Italy for some time. It's a tough decision for Trump. I think he will put it off but in the end he will close that other barn door.

And just for general info. Right now in the U.S. we have identified about the number of cases that Italy had identified 15 DAYS AGO. And our new infection rate is running higher than it is in Italy. Not good.

He's afraid of adding to the panic, and crashing the economy even further.

“When Israel is making better decisions than the US Government, something is not right.”

That’s been happening since before 9-11.01.

Even that China barn door wasn’t completely closed.

I don’t want to hear one more mention of his heroic decision back in January.
