Consider the source.....The New York Times.

If they said Nebraska contains farms, I’d be skeptical.

So it’s coming, they aren’t going to even try to shut down international travel. That’s what happens when your government is full of lefties, the prime directive is to not offend anyone and spread the pain. So it begins ....

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

Now that impeachment is over, its not only ok for the Fake News to care about this, its just the latest tool in the box for getting Trump. The only reason these idiots report anything is if they see it as useful to get Trump.

So I guess we have to ban ALL travel from all over the world..Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland, everywhere..how is that gonna work? Boy the commies went from “Oh that Trump he’s so racist” for wanting to ban travel from China, to now “OMG OMG ITS GONNA BE AN EPIDEMIC ITS ALL TRUMPS FAULT” geez anything to help the Dems win in November, like they could do anything different to stop a virus

I we’ll probably get flamed for saying this but I would not put it past the Deep State actors to intentionally expose Americans to this virus to hurt the President. The prior drummed up crisis seem pretty convenient so this could be another way of creating a crisis.

We need to go ahead and block S. Koreans, Japanese, and Iranians from entering the country.

And quarantine those who have visited there.

Quick someone call Mothra!

The emergence of these new hubs underscored the lack of a coordinated global strategy to combat the coronavirus, which has infected nearly 80,000 people in 37 countries, causing at least 2,600 deaths.

...

AFAIK, this is the best response there’s ever been to an epidemic. The rapid sequencing of the virus genome really helped.

And of the 80,000 known infections, 28,000 are recovered.

How about a full and transparent public briefing instead of closed-door briefing to members of congress? What is the big secret? Maybe higher mortality rate? Maybe real numbers from China? Maybe more people infected in the US than publically disclosed? Maybe longer incubation and contagious period?
