The Trump administration Saturday announced additional travel restrictions affecting Iran, Italy and South Korea in response to the coronavirus outbreak following the first death from the virus in the United States.
Vice President Pence said the existing travel ban on Iran would extend to foreign nationals who had been in that country the past 14 days. The State Department also is increasing its warning advising Americans not to travel to parts of Italy and South Korea affected by the virus.
Right before the White House’s news conference, health officials in Washington state confirmed that a person diagnosed with coronavirus in King County has died.

The ban does not apply to Kerry and Obama, they are encouraged to continue their unsanctioned shadow diplomacy with Iran.

More people have died from vending machines falling on them, than the Corona virus, in the US.

5 left wing writers and nothing about the dead one?
Since CDC has not sent out diagnosis kits that work, how did these magnificent 5 know what he/she/it died from.

Instead of restrictions there should be bans to any country that has over 100 cases..and if someone goes to any of those countries, dont let them back in

Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
