Actually, it isn't up to us to explain how to do that. It's something we pay government to do. All planes were grounded during 911, so it can be done. We shouldn't need to do such a massive scale as that, but there should be a plan.

It’s a curious thing that in 2014, Hannity was obsessed with Obama’s failure to ban all inbound flights from the 3 African countries that were experiencing an Ebola epidemic, never mind there were no direct flights. Night after night he brought on so called infectious disease experts to speculate, including a few who claimed the Ebola virus had mutated to airborne, transmission.

He persisted right up to the midterm election and on the day after, announced he would no longer cover Ebola.

Other media had long since backed off, once it became clear media was a part of the problem.

Seems this go around, Hannity is more obsessed with Hunter Biden, than anything else.

What's curious about it? Hannity is nothing but a political hack. I couldn't care less what he thinks about the handling of this virus. Do you? It's really disgusting that people bring politics into this.

I talked to someone today who has to fly to NY tomorrow. He's getting a mask.

The CDC doesn't want us traveling there, but it apparently has no problem with them traveling here.

WHO admits it was wrong to call the coronavirus a "moderate" threat to the USA. It has changed that assessment to "High". https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20200128_26/

Does anybody but the Chinese know what they're doing?

It appears the stores are starting to sell out of the masks.

Amazon is selling them, but sellers are charging outrageous prices for them. A paper mask can prevent a user from transferring the virus, flu or coronavirus, from their hands to their mouth and nose, so I don't understand why WHO and the CDC tell people they are worthless.

Nothing about this makes sense to me.

There's something really wrong with this virus. Wuhan is where the Coronavirus is centered. China has two bioweapon labs there.


Just as with many countries in the past it would be nothing new to test a weaponized virus on their citizens.
