Screening travelers from Europe is a good policy, but it's one that requires planning and coordination that appears not to have taken place. It's exactly the type of failure we've seen from the federal government in managing this crisis over and over again, reacting to things instead of planning for them.

But we’re not screening. We’re just understaffing our airport security who’s merely checking passports after announcing travel bans a few days ago.

Right, I should have made that more clear. I believe the stated policy is for additional health screening, but that doesn't really appear to be happening.

I guess Trump and the CDC basically gave them 48 hours to get their asses back to the U.S. before something worse happens.

No, nor is the CPR specifically dedicated to coordinating responses to pandemics.

Help me out. I'm trying to learn here after you posted a two year old tidbit about reorganization. From CDC:

CDC is a unique agency with a unique mission: We work 24/7 to protect the safety, health, and security of America from threats here and around the world.

CDC is the Nation’s leading science-based, data-driven, service organization that protects the public’s health. For more than 70 years, we’ve put science into action to help children stay healthy so they can grow and learn, to help families, businesses and communities fight disease and stay strong, and to protect the public’s health.

Our Strategic Framework and Priorities are a bold promise to the Nation (and the world). We will use our scientific expertise to bring a new level of preparedness in the US and global health security against current and growing threats, finally eliminate certain diseases, and bring an end to the devastation of epidemics. CDC has a broad mandate and specific directives from Congress for our work, and these priorities do not include all of CDC’s complex, important work. Learn more below.

It looks to me like there is a structure in place to deal specifically with these scenarios. I could be wrong.

we could try to like... not issue dumb panic producing policy and without coordination with our allies? Or try to boost staffing at our airports?

but nah. Let’s focus on stuff like this instead:

I thought this virus was a hoax cooked up by Dems just to hurt trump? It’s hard to keep up with you Trumpers. One day it’s a hoax. The next day draconian policy without coordination with our allies is needed. Which is it?

the mental gymnastics the idiotic Trumpers on this board go through everyday to keep their boy’s record perfect is impressive.

I love that babe is an expert in every ****ing thing on earth.

Or is he?

He certainly thinks he is.

It's really interesting to read his posts when I have some patience. It shows how skewed people get their information. He often quotes news when it supports his beliefs and then says you can't trust it is it doesn't support his beliefs. I don't disagree with some is his number ideas. But trusting a small church for data is just silly. I do think the death rates are correct right now for the reported cases but I think 90% of the cases are not being reported. People who have little symptoms.

More often than not I can't read past babes first sentence for fear that I might hurt my eyes by rolling them too hard.

Any time he has something almost decent you read through the rest of his post and he always has far out there sentence easily proved wrong.
 
My wife and I have been sick for like 10 days. I thought we were pretty much better but tonight is the worst night yet. Can't stop coughing. Took cough medicine and have a cough drop in my mouth right now and just can't stop coughing. Can't sleep.

I hadn't heard of the church and found it an interesting anecdotal, since that's about all we have to go by rn. You've said the 4% death rate is way too high. It provides insight on what it might be closer to.
