Singapore doesn’t have HIPPA.

Think about it.

It just needs to be no travel from NYC environs, San Francisco and Chicago.

Are you going to let people come back home from cruises?

National Guard Deploys In Baltimore As City Enforces Restrictive Curfew: Live Updates

“ Democrats consistently express much more concern about it than Republicans do,..”

Getting calls from my friends in Kansas voicing shock about the Gov calling for lockdown. My response, “How you like that Democrat now?”

THANK YOU

It’s travel from New York that makes there be consideration of nationwide lockdown and travel ban. It just needs to be no travel from NYC environs, San Francisco and Chicago.

Until we get a vaccine that just might help...

Same device.

I’d guess international skiers flying in through Denver.

Plus private jets to Aspen.

Thankfully, Trump’s travel ban from China on January 27 slowed the virus here in King County.

Basically Seattle is the gateway to the Asian Pacific. We had Patient Zero who got here January 20 and Trump banned China on January 27.

King County has a huge amount of Asians and travel got banned but we did have Mr. Wuhan getting here on January 20.

The majority of King County citizens have been very good about self isolating but it is a dense county and we had the contaminated Life Care petri dish with many deaths.

We have flattened for the last couple days with eight deaths each day. If citizens continue good self-behavior we will be the first to pull out.

True, we are the most communist state in the nation but when the herd marches forward in a good way it does succeed.

[SuperLuminal]

Clearly we have become thoroughly balkanized... Only the shooting, etc. is to some degree missing... It will come...

All this was suggested by a former Presidential candidate (he sought the Republican presidential nomination in 1992 and 1996) as inevitable as a result of a “culture” war... Most Americans laughed at him then...

Now it has surpassed even his worst fears... The tree awaits...

I’m not taking the virus seriously at all. Complete non-factor to me. A rational look at the numbers for ACTUAL transmission and mortality rates, not “potential” shows that this is nothing more than a bad strain of flu. 15k cases in the US as of now? Flu has already killed 23k. This is the global warming of infectious diseases - all hype, no real substance. The one issue President Trump was unbeatable on was the economy. Now thanks to MSM hype and ‘rat governors actions the economy has taken a huge hit. We can only hope that they have over played their hand. The President will power through this, slam them with a dose of real numbers and the economy will rebound and be roaring back by the election. The President will get to rightfully claim to have saved us twice.

[Boomer]

Well...yes. The “Red” areas are much less dense in their populations and more spread out. “Blue” areas very dense population wise, similar to the countries where the spread of the virus spiraled out of control.

Was thinking this very thing today. So glad I don't live in a densely populated congested city for many reasons. This virus just adds one more reason.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Probably true. Hadn’t thought about that.

The very first hot spot in Idaho is Blaine County — home to Sun Valley and LOTS of private jets flying in with ultra-wealthy skiers.

Those types of people usually have low regard for others.

[Paladin2]

“The very first hot spot in Idaho is Blaine County”

Verrryyy Interestingggggg.

I was thinking that Idaho’s big dot was Boise, but now that I look closer at the map, it’s not in the right place for Boise.

I think I see a little bit of a cluster at Driggs, Ida./Jackson Wyo. that has come “online” in the last week or so.

"Large urban areas, with folks stacked on top of one another like cord wood, are petri-dishes for the spread of disease."

That's how the progs think all of us should live.
