The Trump administration Saturday announced additional travel restrictions affecting Iran, Italy and South Korea in response to the coronavirus outbreak following the first death from the virus in the United States.
Vice President Pence said the existing travel ban on Iran would extend to foreign nationals who had been in that country the past 14 days. The State Department also is increasing its warning advising Americans not to travel to parts of Italy and South Korea affected by the virus.
Right before the White House’s news conference, health officials in Washington state confirmed that a person diagnosed with coronavirus in King County has died.

All this and I’m still on the fence about our Spring Break (late March) trip to DC for a few days.
If clusters of cases break out in that area, it’s a no go.
Thoughts anyone?

Why are Koreans and Italy not banned from flighting here too ?
The death was
a Korean national visiting her homeland who was asymptomatic super carrier who exposed hundreds of people on the flights and airports and super market..
She was not checked at the Seattle airport when she arrived ?
Stop these Korean flights now .
We need more deaths.
That travel warning is BS and meaningless .
The Korean are infecting America not the other way .

How about goat yoga? You can see goats peeing and pooping on top of lovely young women in various poses.

Americans have a higher risk from being killed by the Clinton machine than dying from corona virus.

I dont care about politics.
I want common sense and America first .
Korea is in China Virus Zone territory now .
We need stop the Korean flights now .
The infected Koreans are fleeing here now too .
This asymptomatic super carrier was a nightmare.
The super carrier exposed hundreds in Seattle area and the airport .
We have relatives there .
Americans first not Koreans .
Stop the flights .

She should go into whatever protocol she believes in immediately. Whatever it is....
I am a big believer in Liposomal C even though it tastes horrific. This would dovetail into those that believe it helps with sepsis even though some studies didn’t find that it did.
