if its anything like the travel restrictions now it wont work..people are STILL coming into the US from Italy with zero screening just walking on in
If you need the cooperation of the House of Representatives to do this, forget it. They're smelling blood.
Flu season ALWAYS causes a sitting President to address the nation. Now pardon me while I go to the mall and then for a quick bite.
China, Italy and Iran are 94% of the deaths yet the other 192 countries are freaking out.
We have open borders and the Planes are still coming in from China.
Time to shut it down if it is a threat.
Yeah, this is all a global plot to make Trump look bad.
Even those crazy Italians are in on it! Killing hundreds of their own people, just to make Trump look bad!
From a well respected friend and intensivist/A&E consultant who is currently in northern Italy:
1/ ‘I feel the pressure to give you a quick personal update about what is happening in Italy, and also give some quick direct advice about what you should do.
2/ First, Lumbardy is the most developed region in Italy and it has a extraordinary good healthcare, I have worked in Italy, UK and Aus and don’t make the mistake to think that what is happening is happening in a 3rd world country.
3/ The current situation is difficult to imagine and numbers do not explain things at all. Our hospitals are overwhelmed by Covid-19, they are running 200% capacity
4/ We’ve stopped all routine, all ORs have been converted to ITUs and they are now diverting or not treating all other emergencies like trauma or strokes. There are hundreds of pts with severe resp failure and many of them do not have access to anything above a reservoir mask.
5/ Patients above 65 or younger with comorbidities are not even assessed by ITU, I am not saying not tubed, I’m saying not assessed and no ITU staff attends when they arrest. Staff are working as much as they can but they are starting to get sick and are emotionally overwhelmed.
6/ My friends call me in tears because they see people dying in front of them and they con only offer some oxygen. Ortho and pathologists are being given a leaflet and sent to see patients on NIV. PLEASE STOP, READ THIS AGAIN AND THINK.
7/ We have seen the same pattern in different areas a week apart, and there is no reason that in a few weeks it won’t be the same everywhere, this is the pattern:
8/ 1)A few positive cases, first mild measures, people are told to avoid ED but still hang out in groups, everyone says not to panic
Some moderate resp failures and a few severe ones that need tube, but regular access to ED is significantly reduced so everything looks great
9/ 3)Tons of patients with moderate resp failure, that overtime deteriorate to saturate ICUs first, then NIVs, then CPAP hoods, then even O2.
Staff gets sick so it gets difficult to cover for shifts, mortality spikes also from all other causes that can’t be treated properly.
I can imagine he is very tired. He was NOT expecting this, I think he relied on Xi’s LIES that he had it all under control..so he waited til January 27th, by then it way too late, you had MILLIONS of people coming in from China into the United States for MONTHS and China did NOT stop them
Mr. President, all I can say is that you’ve got the patience of Job.
God bless you.
Yeah, we’re magic, and Northern Italians are just stupid, dirty, lazy fools.
Dude, we are 2 weeks from Italy. That’s it.
NBC NEWS: The attending physician of the U.S. Congress & Supreme Court, Dr. Brian Monahan, briefed Senate Staff yesterday in a closed-door meeting that he expects anywhere from 70 up to 150 million people in the U.S. to contract coronavirus, per two sources.
This is why they have to have these meetings behind closed doors. I mean, it’s still being leaked “from two sources”. This just fuels the fear fire. Be sensible, be pragmatic, be proactive when something like this hits, but at the same time the media need to either be responsible or be shut down.
What happens when someone in a nursing home needs to go the hospital?
Or do you think they should just be left to die?
Well made points. The Democrats have politicized this issue and will use it to maximum effect instead of banding together as a nation. The president is not in an envious spot at all, but he is a leader and not a shirker of responsibility like all of his political and media accusers are!
Any Chinese, up until today, can just fly to Thailand or Japan and then onto the USA.
Just one more leg to a multi-leg flight.
So we will either have a dead cat market bounce tomorrow or a another big sell off day. Wouldn’t mind a nice bounce for a change.
Don’t forget to take your Purell with you, and keep your hands away from your face!
Some folks are losing their credibility over this...
Bravo Travis, walk around that lump.
Good. Trump has to counter the MSM agenda and make sure people have realistic expectations. You can’t completely stop a highly infectious virus from spreading. You can however significantly reduce the amount of spread which is what Trump has been doing.
Control the spread to manageable levels and we’ll be fine.
They go to the hospital but don’t go back to nursing home till cleared.
