Well, apparently they're finally recommending not to travel to Mexico unnecessarily (though there's "no cause for alarm"). That makes... what, two times when Obama did something smart, both about a day too late?

But why are we not _ALREADY_ _TESTING_ _EVERYONE_ from _EVERYWHERE_? We don't know where else this may already be. Are Democrats really that averse to taking preemptive measures?

I'm sure Janet will use the opportunity to close the Canadian border, of course.

This may be a WMD attack because of the possibly manufactured nature of the mutation of this virus.
Wouldn't surprise me. Hope you've all got your loins girded, this is gonna be a bumpy ride.

There is very simple test. There are quite a number of hand held infra-red temperature detectors that are very accurate within several feet of detecting temperatures from 99 to 102 degrees.

You aim it at everyone coming in from Mexico, purely non-invasive testing. Everyone over 100 degrees gets throat/mouthy swabbed and cultured for the virus and contact information established.

Many would be unaware of mild temp increases, this would keep everyone warned and tracked and treated.

The Japanese are doing this right now.

Homeland Security and the CDC is way behind the ball on this.
