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.”

Amen!!
It does seem odd that few (any?) other media seem to have picked up on this story.
I'm not talking the Washington Examiner story. I'm talking *multiple* "unnamed sources".
There are several in the media that hate President Trump - pretty obvious after the news conferences today.
Do you think it's plausible that what your friends have told you has not been leaked to the media that dislike President Trump?
And that they (media) have said... nothing?
God, I hope & pray that this is FAKE NEWS. Of course, the “It’s Another Spanish Flu Level Event” crowd will REVEL in the resulting destruction of our country and its economy.
PLEASE PRESIDENT TRUMP, DON’T FALL FOR IT.

Hurts to see that our government’s plan is to tell us to run and hide like little girls.
And that’s an insult to little girls.
The folks on the family farm in flyover country will be just fine.
Fruit cellars full of canned goods, steers in the pasture, hogs in the pens and hens + roosters in the chicken house. All that plus a 50# sack of flour and all is well for them.
You know good and damn well the global community is looking to fix this ASAP.
Meanwhile, the Dems are busy creating a PAC to attack the President’s response.

That’s EXACTLY what’s happening,
True statement.
Border will close.
This is what results from having “experts” set public policy. Completely expected .... they see and care only about what they are “expert” in and completely ignore the resulting consequences from their dictates; that is, they have no, none, zip, zero, nada “larger perspective”. That’s why they are called “experts” in their limited field (viewpoint).
I don't think it will matter. People will blame President Trump for their financial losses if there is nationwide SIP. Just like Newsom (sp?) will be blamed for California.
We shall see.
Right now it’s approaching EMP level of effectiveness in terms of instantly shutting down many, many things.
What happens if everyone gets sick and this viral crap is all over everything?
I don’t have idea. This is a game changer here.
They are not trying to win.
I’ve got a bridge I’d like to sell you.
Let’s not count chickens before they hatch. It looks promising for treatment but it is not a vaccine.
I don’t know what this is: US TLA
I think its accurate and I’m responding appropriately.
“ What will be the result of letting the virus just run its course, like a seasonal flu ?”
4,000,000 US deaths. Look it up on your phone.
At the death rate of .014?
285,714,285 would have to get the wu flu.
The current population of the United States of America is 330,451,770 as of Thursday, March 19, 2020, based on Worldometer elaboration of the latest United Nations data.

The story of the Diamond Princess cruise ship indicates that only about 20% will get infected, so five times the infected would mean a population of one billion?
It’s really going to be fun when everyone’s cell service goes down.
Who are those that are trading for the very thing old Ben said? Girls gone wild next week.
