the creation of the task force should be considered a success

Not sure I'd consider creating a task force a success.

Mr. President, you're doing an outstanding job! Drive on!

As the President said, other nations are not required to like us, but they will respect us.

I think it was Washington State, not Washington DC

new info indicates it is aerosolized. this is bad news.

so the cruise ship will give a great many clues as this proceeds. the majority should get it. if they don’t...find out why a person didn’t get it.

While this provision contains a number of exceptions—family members of U.S. citizens and foreign nationals working on flight crews, for instance, are exempted—some commentators have criticized it as too harsh a response.

If anyone ever needed more proof that globalists want us to die en-masse.

Given we’ve only known of this new disease a few weeks, it is sort of early to declare a success (or failure) yet.

The first case was in WA state, not DC.

I thought President Trump’s response so far has been very good. First, just the formation of the task force and having a press conference for them is effective. It shows the public that the administration is taking it seriously and is working on the disease. If that did not happen, the press would be all over the place saying the president isn’t doing anything, its chaos, etc.
Second, I think the actions so far have been measured and are helping.

He did the same thing when there were hurricanes coming toward Florida and Puerto Rico. He got the cabinet together, planned ahead, has the press there to show the administration was working on it.

Very professional.

"family members of U.S. citizens and foreign nationals working on flight crews, for instance, are exempted"

Is this a bad time to mention that a foreign national flight attendant, Gaëtan Dugas, enthusiastically spread AIDS in America?

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

My wife and daughter are trapped there, trying to get them out. However, having been born in China, they are believing the Chinese bs on the news. So, they think that if they just wait a little, they will be okay. It hasn’t peaked yet, and won’t until late March.

That first case was from Washington state, Not Washington DC, but getting it contained quickly within our borders is a must and it sounds like the president is being proactive with the people chosen to do the job.

[GOPJ]

By creating a coronavirus task force, issuing stringent travel restrictions, and offering to aid the Chinese in combating the outbreak, the White House has made every effort to protect the American people and stop the virus from spreading.

If Hillary had been President she would have formed focus groups to find what victims families wanted to hear so she could say magic words to the rubes and harvest votes. The corrupt press would have praised her for being so sensitive.

[Tarasaramozart]

As evidenced by their use of military bases to hold quarantined travelers, and their identification of military bases with large numbers of barracks or warehouses as quarantine locations should the US have the same situation as the Chinese illustrates there is military involvement.

By the way, the Homeland Security personnel who interact with the quarantined travelers wear full hazmat suits including respirators units with their own oxygen source. The buiilding(s) that hold the travelers are surrounded with barbed wire fences and concentina.
