Yay bureaucrats! People with medical expertise should be running the show, not economics clowns.
The Surgeon General IS a doctor.
And the most severe impact on this country will likely be economic.
The main impact of this is not going to be medical, but economic. The US is able to handle what is essentially similar to a bad outbreak of the flu, and the population will cooperate voluntarily (basically in sanitation, such as wiping down surfaces, using hand sanitizer, etc. while the outbreak lasts).
But the real problem is not going to come from the US, but from the fact that we have been getting our goods from worst (but economically powerful) country in the world, that is, China. We even get our pharmaceuticals manufactured there!
So they will have a massive slowdown, everybody they supply will have a slowdown (they also have raw materials that they ship), and a global economy that has been built to rely on a slave-state whose slaves are too sick to work is going to have major problems.
The best thing Trump can do is get economic advisers in there.
My personal suggestion: Bring back production to the US, Canada and Mexico (now that we have a great trade pact), and make North America Great Again!
