Travel Advice

The U.S. State Dept. has issued Level 4: DO NOT TRAVEL guidance for the entire world amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, Global Guardian recommends the following:
Return to the U.S. if currently abroad while commercial means are still available. Otherwise, prepare to remain abroad for an indefinite period.
Avoid all international travel.
Practice advanced careful hygiene measures, including frequent hand washing and sanitizing.
Practice "social distancing" while in public spaces.
Outlook

The outlook remains optimistic as several European countries are starting to see a significant decline in new cases 20-30 days after instituting aggressive lockdown measures. Many are now starting to re-open limited parts of their economies and the success of those restarts will be key for how other nations handle lifting of restrictions.

Isn't the spike due to MORE testing? Maybe not necessarily need cases?

The left do not want this to end. They keep on moving the goal posts.

2:21 NO fool, it is becasue the SK test are tainted with the virus, CDC even says this.... Some how, god only knows how, tainted test used for control got put into public hands and infected people, CDC says this to!!! China has been selling and making boat loads of money off of PPE and test kits, and half of them were tainted or don't work, and give false positives, so this is why the numbers keep going up!!!! We have always had enough test, and people were getting tested, it is the tainted tests that keep the number going up... Which is why none of you can point to someone you know who is sick or was sick or who died from this virus!!!!! But hey don't do any actual investigative work!!!!!

Every single democrat in the country is responsible for this. When Republican congress held a coronovirus meeting not one showed up. They were too busy getting all hot and bothered over the scam impeachment. The only thing worse then a democrat politician is the filth that votes democrats A place in hell is waiting for you you can bet on that.

Graduation 7:03. Work ethic is important. It does seem to be disappearing with our youth - everything free. However, if you have family take heed you are not going to say on your death bed "I wish I had spent more time at work". No one really cares how much time you spend at work as soon as you can be replaced. Something to think about.
