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.

But that tells you nothing. It was an over 300 point swing for the day. And over 200 point swing in 15 minutes.

That said, China PMI will be the next focus in less than 24 hours.

Why is it the CDC’s job to send out test kits?

That was sort of my point, but thank you for providing the extra info.

I was right there during all those swings...Dramamine week in the markets...

I dont know which way it is going to go but I expect more violent moves.

Part of Friday 3:45 pm had to do with option expirations. That was a violent move.

Well, the Clinton machine has subsided lately. Nobody killed by it since Jeff Epstein.

I’m hoping and praying that America and the world are going to do what is necessary to contain this, but I really get ticked off when people compare the infancy of the brand new virus to yearly flu statistics. I remember being taught the double a penny for a month equation as a child and know how quickly things can get out of control. This is serious and needs to be dealt with. While I don’t like to see carnage in the stock market, I’m glad that everyone is now being made aware that there is a serious problem that needs to be dealt with. In fact I’m worrying less now that I know many others are worrying more.

I read the other day that a psychologist who testified at Weinstein’s trial was hit by a car and I think died.

And not long ago a Dem IT/research guy (NAME??can’t remember) who testified in Congress about Gulagle helping Hitlery get votes became a widower. His newly wedded wife was killed in a car accident. He didn’t seem to think it was actually an accident.

Car accidents is their new MO, then. A lot more plausible than hanging oneself.

There is NO Korean flight ban .
The Koreans are still flying in here unchecked and not tested
and infected like our first death on our soil , a Korean national residing here .
A sad statement of our open borders mess .

A state dept warning to not go to Korea is a joke.

Car accidents are just another tool that have been used for a long time. I remember reading about a Clinton body count death that involved I think it was a Corvette that went pedal to the metal until crashing. Can you imagine driving a car down the road that was sabotaged to accelerate?

Or maybe its only flights to Korea being stopped .
Nobody announced banning flights from Korea here yet .
The Korean dead lady is a
good reason to stop them.
