Anyone think the US will restrict travel to the area as a result?

Nah.

Okay, let's see here: Germany. Canada. China. Indonesia. The Philippines. Singapore. Thailand.

All places with either cut-to-the-bone socialist health care systems or barely-functioning health care at all. (Well, except for Singapore, but it's so close to so many of those other countries, God only knows where that poor schlub went and what he did first.)

I'll worry about this when it starts killing Americans who haven't traveled abroad, in American hospitals.

I know this is serious and has the potential to get out of hand, especially since the virus/bacteria isn't responding to drugs. But, the headline makes me want to scream. So now the UN wants to get involved in something? Like we NEED the UN to issue a warning? Well, maybe France does.

The plane took off from New York. It's here.

So where are the dead and dying Americans? See what I mean?

Enough that the CDC activated its emergency operations center. It's only done that twice before.
