I think they are injecting some money at the moment. But, yeah, probably too much to overcome with more bad news coming in the days and weeks ahead.

Coronavirus Precautions: International Travelers Arriving At NYC Airports Concerned By Lack Of Screenings

At JFK Airport, jetlagged passengers typically in a rush to clear immigration are now appalled by a lack of screening, especially compared to procedures in the countries they just left.

Emily Ferrara and Blair Haworth just returned from Florence, Italy, where their study abroad program was canceled because of the virus. There are more than 300 cases there, one of the largest outbreaks outside China.

Yet, the students told CBS2’s Christina Fan they weren’t asked a single question about potential symptoms once they landed in New York City.

“We didn’t even get checked. Like we’re used to being in Florence where you get your temperature checked. Here they didn’t do anything, which is kind of crazy,”

No need to insult my faith.

Wait....what? I thought JFK was one of the premier screening airport locations.

Hmmmm.

Related to the Italy post above:

«10% infected are health workers»

The spread of coronavirus in Lombardy is ‘limited’ in 5 areas, the situation, for ‘90% of patients it resolves without problems’, but ‘10% need to go to the hospital’. For all these reasons, ‘some hospitals have gone into serious difficulties’, also because ‘10% of cases are health workers’ employed in ‘areas of high contagion rates’, he concluded (here the Corriere della Sera special: word to science ‘).

Excerpt from the Morning Report 2/28/2020 at Ace of Spades HQ:

CORONAVIRUS, FICTIONS AND FACTS
Some of the other headlines relating to the virus and the politics, PDT mulls invoking special powers to deal with a possible outbreak, VP Pence who has been selected to head the taskforce made reassuring comments at CPAC as the Dems went ballistic over his appointment, the first indigenous case of the virus was reported in California but it should be noted that the victim was in or near the airport where the overseas victims were flown into. Meh, it makes for a good headline to sow more panic. Also, the Navy is quarantining all ships that were in the Far East, a dog in Hong Kong belonging to a victim tested positive but it's believed that the virus is only a surface contact and not in its system, a couple of links in praise of the President's handling of the press as well as the situation, a reminder that despite having ample funding on hand, the Dems want even more as well as, get this, to attach FISA extension legislation to the funding bill, the FDA is here to help... gum up the works, Chi-Coms ham-fistedly try to deflect blame elsewhere, Iran cases of the virus skyrocketing, flashback to 2009 when Biden spread panic about the eponymous swine flu, and the Great One and Daniel Greenfield on the Democrats using the virus to pimp open borders.
