From the article first line: “If this coronavirus outbreak is not a serious threat, then why is the U.S. government preparing to quarantine victims all over America?”
IF the PDJT Administration doesn’t react the damnable Democrats will claim he doesn’t care about Americans as well there is too much unknown about the virus to not be prepared for the worst case scenario. It only makes sense to be prepared.
Intent was to buffer inflow of contagion into the US by airline traffic.
Some reports from inside China circa 11Feb20 indicated a death count closer to 240,000 up from >24,000 on 1Feb20.
A captured screenshot from a Chinese reporting system shows how the reported numbers appear to be reset from 11pm 1Feb2020 to 4pm 2Feb2020, seen here at time mark 11:45 of 56:56 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_Ij6XzNOuM on The Hagmann Report with Stan Deyo speaking.
At this rate, if it does come to the US, it could easily get out of hand and 24 quarantine centers at 1000 person capacity each would be a drop in the bucket. (It would be easier for the healthy to go there and await the rest of the world to go infected within 3 months.)
