The United States and the world face down one of the most challenging tests in modern history in the coronavirus pandemic. Timely implementation of bold decisions can substantially stem the spread of the coronavirus and significantly limit the havoc it may wreak on mankind. To help prevent an uncontrollable outbreak in the United States, it is essential that President Trump immediately stop outgoing passenger flights from JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark, in light of the quickly spreading virus in New York and New Jersey.
President Trump has proven himself to be a courageous leader time and again, announcing multiple restrictions designed to protect and preserve the lives of Americans in the face of partisan criticism and criticism from other governments. These actions include his Proclamations of Jan. 31 banning foreign nationals from entering the U.S. from China, of Feb. 29 banning the entry of all foreign nationals for 14 days after having been in Iran, and of March 11 banning foreign nationals from Europe. In addition, the Pentagon now bans troop movements from countries with outbreaks, including China, South Korea and Italy. President Trump has taken many additional actions that have helped significantly reduce the rate of the coronavirus outbreak.

New York is the main driver of coronavirus cases in the United States and is now Ground Zero for coronavirus. In light of the rapid rise of confirmed cases in the United States, largely on account of it being significantly more contagious than the flu and rapidly spreading, and only partly on account of a dramatic increase in testing, it is essential that immediate action be taken.

Let the outbound flights go. Stop the inbound flights.
Right now this may be coming to fruition. The airports are not having anyone leave them at this moment.
I hope they just shoot out my tires, not shoot to kill...
Hasn’t this already happened?
Too bad we have not heard another word about the a-hole Judge who blocked Trump’s travel ban which allowed infected Iranians into NY.
38 minutes ago. Supposedly. It's Twitter.
It actually is.
However, people will find some way out and it will just be a matter of it slowing the spread as opposed to stopping it.
It is up to other countries to stop the incoming flights. And for any Americans going out on these flights to realize we will waste no resources to get them home.
JFK is back on. Stoppage was temporary due to a trainee testing positive.
No, the outbound makes more sense.
It’s to stop it from spreading to the rest of the country so fast.
People can go in at their own risk and realize there may not be a way out.
Gives new idea to “hanging judge.”
All over an illness that over the last few months has killed statistically speaking, zero Americans.
If this is all it takes to force us by gunpoint to stay in our homes, this nation is lost. It was probably lost long before we even suspected it.
Oh that’s right, forgot all about that!
Good grief Democrats after all this are the party of the Plague...
The air traffic control center for the NYC region was shut down and evacuated because someone had a positive COVID-19 test. This seems ridiculous on its face. Isolate the one with the virus, keep the place operating, and monitor the other employees regularly before every shift.
Trump would have to ground EIB-1.
