Even if the virus does not kill millions, it may bring down the Chinese government. The Chinese have closed their stock market for New Years. But, they are not reopening anytime soon.

I guess Kurt Schlichter (The Coronavirus Could Be Trump’s Katrina) can stop his hand wringing.

Looks like Eric Ciaramella sitting against the wall to the Presidents left wearing the red tie. I’m sure he’ll be a lot of help.

Quick, lets get Tommy Thompson to head it so he can decide what color the Alerts should be.
How about Green-Yellow-Red?

Can the task force start with extending the quarantine for those diplomats at March AFB to 14 to 21 days instead of 3?!

Trump needs to halt all travel from China, just as has Russia, which closed its border. Concrete action, not just political committee.

Trump has to take all precautions possible when it comes to this. He can't trust his advisers on every issue, and this is one that I believe he needs to be careful with. No one knows exactly how bad this virus is at the moment, but Trump will be blamed if it gets bad here. He needs to stop all flights out of China now.

I've been one of many who's been calling for Trump to stop all Chinese nationals from entering our country until we've gotten a handle on the massive Chinese espionage rings that infest our universities, and several of our vital industries. That's a problem we've needed to be far more aggressive and active getting a hold on. We should have already put into place strict restrictions on Chinese nationals, and limited the number of Chinese nationals to only the ones we REALLY need, and don't believe to be involved in spy rings, or influence campaigns, etc.

If we had already been taking more aggressive actions against the Chinese like we should have been doing for other reasons, it would have put us in a much better situation now. Trump needs to stop all Chinese nationals from entering our country, until this virus, along with Chinese spying, is under control.

TRUMP 2020!!! - MAGA!!! - KAG!!!

The Coronavirus Could Be Trump’s Katrina

Good commentary from earlier today many might have missed, worth checking out and being ready for.

The airline that brought out the 200 Americans from China to Alaska to March AFB in Riverside County, Calif, is owned by Connie Kalitta. KALITTA AIR is a cargo carrier.

Connie is well known by the drag racing community as the long time owner of Top Fuel Dragsters. Shirley Muldowney got her big break in one of Connie’s cars. His nephew, Doug Kalitta still drives for Connie.

Connie has been flying Military supplies to the Middle East for years. When those planes return from there, I have been told that Connie flies back American coffins to DC free of charge.

The plane shown on ABC this AM is a cargo plane that had seats installed to make the trip. I have no doubt that he would go ‘rescue’ Americans wherever Trump asked him to go.

The World Health Organization on Thursday declared the new coronavirus outbreak a global emergency amid the recent jump in the number of infected patients.

“The main reason is not what is happening in China but what is happening in other countries,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced at a news conference in Geneva, Switzerland.

“Our greatest concern is the potential for the virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems, and which are ill-prepared to deal with it,” Ghebreyesus added.

HOW CHINA IS BUILDING A CORONAVIRUS HOSPITAL IN A WEEK

An outbreak of the virus — which has killed at least 170 people as of Thursday and infected a total of 7,834 — was first reported by Chinese officials after it originated at an animal and seafood market in the city of Wuhan.

Coronavirus, or 2019-nCoV, is now said to be transferable between humans; 38 new deaths and 1,737 new infected cases have been reported in the last 24 hours.

Unfortunately, our health care system uses a “push” supply system, only getting the supplies and equipment they need right then, plus a little bit.

To illustrate this, every flu season nationally we need about 100,000 respirators to keep people alive. But we only have about 102,000. So if it is a bad flu season, some people will have to do without.

Granted, hospitals would be hard pressed to get enough supplies and equipment on their own and in a hurry, and would lose a lot of money if they got them and didn’t need them.

However, the federal government could *easily* get just the “surge” amount of just those things that were needed, and if it turned out they weren’t needed, no problem.

Coronavirus is a great example for this. That is, we know what supplies and equipment are going to be needed within weeks or months, when and if it hits the US with some ferocity.

So President Trump could order surge production of these, granted at surge prices of course, so that our hospitals could get what they need.
