Coronavirus COVID-19

But this came from a bat at a wet market though.

No it didn't, the U.S. Army Started the Coronavirus Epidemic

“There are a few Chinese officials who appear to have gone to the Donald J. Trump School of Diplomacy,” added Mr. Gewirtz, who recently published a paper on China’s handling of the AIDS epidemic, after a similar disinformation campaign. “This small cadre of high-volume Chinese officials don’t seem to realize that peddling conspiracy theories is totally self-defeating for China, at a moment when it wants to be seen as a positive contributor around the world.”

So you don't understand the rules of the travel ban?

I do. But passengers (as BDKKKJMU noted) were still coming from Europe, to the UK (which has a full outbreak going on as well).

In other words, a lot of fluff, like Trump's wall, that makes the idiots that support Trump feel better, but accomplishes nothing.

The travel restrictions apply to foreign nationals who have visited countries in the Schengen zone -- an area of open-border travel within Europe -- during the past 14 days.
These include: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

What happens if I re-route through an unaffected airport?
Regardless of which airport you travel through, if you're a foreign national who has visited any of the aforementioned countries during the last two weeks, you are not permitted to travel to the US under the current restrictions.

What if they flew to Mexico and walked over?

Trump just declared this Sunday a "National Day of Prayer."

So I guess that's a thing.

If they are sick, and try an illegal crossing, they will never survive.
If they try to cross at a checkpoint, the passport will give their movements away.

It will give people something to do while sitting around doing nothing.

Current Cases
26 countries Europe ban: Almost 30k cases, open borders between EU countries.
4 countries of the UK: 798 cases (England most 649), more border controls.

Most cases Europe:
-Italy
-Spain
-Germany
-France
-Switzerland
-Netherlands
-Denmark
-Norway
-England
-Belgium
Of the 30 countries, Scotland, N Ireland, Wales at/near the bottom.

Plus there has to be an outlet for USC and legal permanent residents (working, vacationing, students) to get back to the states. If not the UK then whom?

Glad you came up for air out of Trump's ass.

What good is a travel ban if all they have to do is transit through England?

Because their passports are being checked and they aren’t being allowed boarding in the UK if they have been in the Schengen countries in the last 14 days.

Delaware schools closed for next two weeks.

I hope they don't try to tack on any days to the end of the year, because my sons won't be there. I booked our flight to Colorado June 20-30.

Now that China’s on their way down the backside of the curve, Xinhua’s back to reminding us that they own us

They make threats like this all the time but it’s good to have an occasional reminder of what China is

Mexico is thinking about closing the border with the US:

Maybe Trump and kalmunists were right.

Make America Make Stuff Again so we don't depend on the Chicommies for critical supply chains.

Too bad they didn't do that 30 years ago.

Curious how long it would take to get pharmaceuticals made here (or Canada/Mex).

PA Gov orders all schools (public & private) shut down for 2 weeks. Recommended that all "non-essential retail businesses" close.

Confirmed PA cases Thur 22, today 41 (31 in Philly area). My county (Delaware Co) has 6.

All the media about flattening the curve is correct

Singapore and Hong Kong are nearly at a 1:1 rate now

We don’t have the ability to curb civil liberties in some ways they can, but external and domestic travel bans even after community spread is underway are a part of the formula. Whoever was in Trimp’s ear about the Schengen moratorium was right

That would require pharmaceutical companies to consider the insane and completely mad concept of making slightly less profit
Today as it stands Big Pharma is entirely in the business of MONEY MAKING
the life saving thing is a side effect - and completely irrelevant



this has been proven beyond debate

Yep. Pharma and insurance companies.

I was supposed to start radiation 6 weeks after chemo.

Meanwhile.... now 9 weeks after chemo, I'm hoping it will get started 10 weeks after, though the insurance company still hasn't approved me yet.

I'm sure the cancer is being good and not spreading while they decide if I'm worthy of treatment.

That’s just retarded. “Non Essential” to WHOM? Sure as fuck they are essential to the owners and employees! What a ridiculous comment.

So basically nothing a crap load of tariffs can't fix.

No kidding. Mass school district shutdowns here in Sac County. Not sure how people are expected to go to work when they have to stay home to watch the kids (thinking healthcare folks mostly).

I was wondering the same. Got to thinking, for a lot of people with both parents working away from home & young children, could find babysitters from among neighbors or family friends with all the HS and college kids off & stuck at home with nothing to do.

Duh! The money is in the treatment, not the cure.

My homie!

We need to be manufacturing respiratory devices and triage facilities fast along with test kits and working on vaccines. Right fucking now. I hope they started weeks ago.

Edit... And masks

[kalm]

Don’t know if it was already mentioned but DoD has cancelled travel. I’m guessing that’s pretty damned significant.
