I suspect you are correct.

Trump is not an expert on infectious diseases.

You and I both know he will rely on the best resources available for advisement as any President would.

Of course he will.

You know they say he is a Germaphobe and the way it’s portrayed, is like being a Germaphobe is a racial thing.

I would expect fellow microbes, as leftists, would see that what Trump would do, would be Germicidal.!

You know they say he’s worried about clean dishwashers. That would also be racist to dirty water nations.

He’s a Germicidal Maniac!

Yeah yeah yeah but where does he eat pizza?

He actually eats Pizza with a fork.

That was 2 wives ago.

I don’t care. They are doing just fine. Obvious workaholic, they all knew he was a workoholic, teetotaling, future president who idealized the Fountainhead’s Howard Rourke. Not perfect. He does more in one day than 100 Trump Haters combined.

Lol he’s a carnival barker.

and the haters are carnival Geeks.

But where does he get his pizza?

Your contributions are truly invaluable. Thanks for the wisdom.

Since I seem to have missed it, what is your solution to prevent this from becoming an epidemic in the US?

This spread about a thousand times more easily than ebola.

Sars is a minor problem compared to the Chinese Carona virus.

Yes it does, it spread by contact and is airborne.

Actually, he had to switch to a new element he created with a big pipe wrench because of palladium poisoning.

Yes, a quarantine for 40 million people in the middle of a country is unprecedented. News reports are that all transportation of people in an out of area around Wuhan is severely restricted.

While it is unlikely that the a lab is the source of the virus, the exact origin of the outbreak is still not known. One problem with figuring out what has been going on is that the earlier response from the government was to arrest people posting about the virus:

China 'Handles' Eight People for Posting About Wuhan Virus Online

Local police in Wuhan, China, revealed they had "handled" eight people posting about the respiratory virus in the city.

It is difficult to say what the actual death rate is for people with the disease since the number of reported infections is going up very rapidly. One issue that deaths can occur a week or longer after the patient has symptoms:

Doctor, 62, dies from coronavirus nine days after contracting deadly disease

Dr Liang Wudong was admitted with the pneumonia-like symptoms on January 16 and transferred to another hospital for treatment but died this morning

It is also possible that one person may spread the disease to many people possibly without showing severe symptoms:

Of all the alarming aspects of the rapidly spreading new virus out Wuhan, China, this is perhaps the most alarming: A single patient has infected 14 health care workers.

Lat I heard the lock down had been expanded to something like four or five cities.

Looks like the Chinese government and the BBC have been infiltrated by the legendary vast right-wing conspiracy:

Maybe we can build a wall around China that they will pay for?

Bill.in.PA · 2020-01-25T17:03:17.932Z

Yep, it is up to 56 million under quarantine in China

The US is looking evacuate Americans from the quarantined areas.

Mail Online – 25 Jan 20

US prepares to evacuate its citizens and diplomats from Wuhan

The US government is arranging a charter flight on Sunday to bring its citizens and diplomats back from Wuhan - the Chinese city where the coronavirus outbreak originated.

I assume that the US government will keep a close eye on the returning Americans to assure that they don’t spread the disease here.

WildRose · 2020-01-25T17:07:16.213Z

What’s alarming is just how fast it’s spreading. Two confirmed cases in the US another probable, and a couple of dozen suspected cases under observation.

If there isn’t some rapid action on either cutting off travel from China except for Americans and permanent residents returning home or a much more in depth screening process at the ports of entry it could be a real mess in a hurry.

We’re already having a pretty rough flu season, and if people with the flu or who are weakened as a result of the flu start getting exposed it could get serious fast.

Bill.in.PA · 2020-01-25T17:14:17.678Z

The CDC issues a “Warning - Level 3, Avoid Nonessential Travel” for the area around Wuhan two days ago.

I would not be surprised if they will be forced to expand the warning for the whole of China given the rapid expansion of the disease.

WildRose · 2020-01-25T17:16:24.337Z

Last I heard they are making arrangements as of today/yesterday there to evacuate all Americans from the affected area.

They are taking this very seriously.

Bill.in.PA · 2020-01-25T17:28:05.186Z

Here is an interesting video from an expert who has dealt with past outbreaks. He expresses concerns but says there are no easy answers to the outbreak.
