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.”

I'm typically more prepared than most. At all times.
Ha! No.....The Next Pandemic
Insider trading is not illegal for members of Congress - they exempted themselves. Besides, this isn’t insider trading anyway.
Right.
The virus certainly is serious and I recognize that.
In fact, I am in the age group most in danger.
But shutting down all of the nation, thus handicapping our ability to find a cure or a defense is not wise.
I WAS going to retire at the end of the year.I will now be working til I’m 95. In a country that has given up civil liberty without so much as a whimper.
Seems like they had it planned but one DJT stepped in the way.
I was thinking the SP episode where everybody is heading out Californy way. :^)
Uh, no. Ask former Rep. Chris Collins about that.
I wanted to retire in 5 but oh well.
I wonder if this is related to this story....
From Reuters - False claim: A text says Trump to declare mandatory quarantine under the Stafford Act
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3826323/posts
Included in article: “Note: my military friend just sent me the above text.”
He’s lost his mucking find. He’s gone to the dark side. I’m sitting out this election.
“Trump eyes grounding jets, halting stock trading, and ordering shelter in place”
“Key officials” = fake news
this is totally fake news
“sheltering in place” for the entire nation means the lights go out and the food stops flowing; in other words, most everyone starves to death in the dark, and the country descends into mass chaos and complete anarchy ...
this kind of fake news is the absolute worse kinds of lies because its designed to panic people into destroying the country ...
I realized the 1.1 million figure was from something else not associated with the virus. I did read the linked article a few days ago.
And as long as I’m married, I welcome COVID-19. If I can live with my ol’ lady, I can live with any malady the Good Lord gives me.
epidemiological modeling.
Boy, am I impressed with those big words that only the intellectually gifted can appreciate.
Even more impressed with people who believe in modeling.
After all, those are the people who told us our children would never se snow again..
And that the one world order would improve our lives.
The same people that invented the hocky stick.
The fact is that plain old seasonal flu, the kind we have had for over 100 years, has a higher death rate and we never closed the country down.
By the way, the story that started this thread is already being debunked in more recent threads.
Multiculturalism, globalism, migration and immigration gave us millions who will naturally travel back to the homeland to visit family.
I want to turn out to be an hysterical old coot. Crazy man yellin’ at a lamp post like Joe Biden. That would be swell. I could look back at this time and say, yep, that right there is when I went right off the deep end!
But the actions being taken here, and yes, the words not being spoken, but in body language displayed, indicate that the foe being faced here is something far greater than we are generally being led to believe or understand.
If the infection rate gets out of hand such that new cases cannot be handled, then both the death rate and the infection rate will rise, and that crap will be everywhere all over everything.
I have a real bad feeling that this thing is Godzilla.
Financial Terrorism.
Agreed. We’re missing important information. The world is burning down the worlds economy. We are missing a huge puzzle piece.
that’s what I think, too.....
If it is, why have only 10,000 people died worldwide (Between 150,000 and 500,000 died from swine flu worldwide in 2009)?
