The Trump administration, moving quickly to halt the spread of the coronavirus, is seriously considering grounding all passenger air traffic for up to 30 days, temporarily halting stock trading on Wall Street, and imposing a shelter-in-place rule, according to officials.
Key officials have begun alerting industry leaders, Capitol Hill, and agencies that the “radical” plan could come early next week if the warlike efforts to stop the spread of the virus fail.
On Thursday, the administration began to prepare the nation for 9/11-style moves when the State Department issued a “Level Four” warning against traveling overseas. The warning is the most severe that the department has.
In a notice, the State Department said Americans traveling abroad may find their travel “severely disrupted” and “may be forced to remain outside of the United States for an indefinite time frame.”

If you're not prepared by now, you better get yourself ready for a 30 day lockdown in a hurry.
It's comiing.
Do you trust these sources?
No, no it’s not. Definitely not.
This is the beginning of a Fallout game.
Starring us.
That is right. But even then, they had the right to travel and do things. They NEVER had to contend with which amounts to Martial law.
Hell, even in the black out directive on the east coast, the German subs could use the lights to sink ships-which was a crime in itself by those living along that coast.
Freepers,
It’s going to ramp up and was fully expected.
Numbers on Monday will be double today. It has to ride through.
The World will deal with China later.
Well it sure will not be Biden or Sanders to bring it back. Certainly not Hillary!
It’s areas containing major Asian populations. NY accounts for over 1/3 of all US cases. I would be willing to bet 90% of those are Chinese or Koreans. Same is Washington, California, NJ and Mass.
As if people weren't freaked out enough.
Back to the grocery store I go..........
Still, getting three calls, all independent of each other saying the same thing? Hard to ignore that.
I'm prepared. Have been since the virus broke in China. Still, so many not prepared. Told the GF to pack a bag and be prepared to stay here a week so I can protect her, and told her to not ask questions. She's on her way right now. \
I’m inclined to believe that this is FAKE news!
Martial Law in the USA isn’t plausible.
Yep read everything here first. Breaking news.
It likely shuts down tommorow. Air travel real soon. Shelter place y’all.
Tell me that in a few days if this keeps on going the way it is.
Everybody just needs to take a DEEP breath and relax. Now, I am not an investment advisor, and I don’t claim to have any special financial knowledge, but I DO know this:
Anyone pulling his $$$ out of the stock market over this is making a YUGE mistake.
First off, it is basically always a dumb move to “sell low”; but in this case it would be criminally stupid.
The economy is SOUND and strong, and the stock market will shoot back up like a ROCKET when this thing blows over - REGARDLESS if it takes 3 weeks or 3 months.
You know what my wife and did when the market plunged a few days ago? Scraped every last loose penny we had and invested it in the market.
Trust the President. He is not blowing smoke. He is RIGHT about this.
The worse projections I read had the number of dead at 1.1 million. So where does this new figure come from?
Aren’t you in all cash?
Well,
To Be Fairre......
it's cellular based, so no petri dishes.
It's not me ! My wife is the geek !!
This is expected.
I’ve been watching this since January.
People staying apart will help. Kids on bicycles will help.
It’s gonna roll through, nothing will stop it. Just do your best to stay out of the way.
Yeah, I’m sure it was just the GOP Senators and not one democrat did the same thing.
