Something similar happened here. A Danish couple was put under quarantine for 2 weeks in Denmark, but after one week they decided to buy tickets and fly to Madeira. Luckily the Danish authorities informed the Portuguese ones. Now they are back under quarantine in their hotel and when that is over they will find themselves in court, the penalty for their reckless behavior can go up to 5 years in jail

I'm sure the health experts didn't tell him to say the virus would disappear miraculously. etc.

LAst night's speech had misinformation in it -- but funnily enough it wasn't necessarily about the health portion of this issue but the policies the President was implementing.
I have yet to understand how they got the speech wrong. That does little to instill confidence in this admin.

Concern, different point of view aren't hysteria or hype.....it's just differing views.
Yeah, the NBA, and now the NHL are canceling their seasons. No big deal.

The same reactions to swine flu....oh, wait.

It looks like nyc has a major pandemic of this type of sickness. A client of mines just lost a relative who's traveled to South America and now is dead from Corona virus. She was a carrier and infected from NYC and brought the virus to a tropical country in South America which now counts as their first death. If you are from NYC. Please don't board a plane..

Didn't you all say to buy yesterday, the day before -- lol. At some point we are going to run out of cash to buy....lol.

AS of my post, Dow is down to 21,693.
There is some truth that at some point it will edge up again -- it's just we don't know when -- nobody does.

Yeah...this time it wasnt Trump just freewheeling - he was clearly reading prepared statements. The question is whether anyone went over the statement and fact-checked prior to his address or was Trump not saying what was written exactly how it was written. The implications of either are concerning.
