Health secretary says coronavirus travel restrictions within the US are not ‘off the table’

No plan to stop coronavirus has been taken off the table, according to Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar.

The coronavirus, also known as the COVID-19 virus, has claimed the life of one U.S. citizen, and the infection has been slowly spreading in a few west coast states. Azar noted on Sunday that the threat to the general population is low but acknowledged that he would leave any option on the table, including a travel ban within the United States.

“Right now, it’s important for people to understand, we're not advising any types of particular measures in the United States like travel restrictions or closures,” Azar told Face the Nation. “State or local public health offices, which are the front lines of response, might make their own decisions to do that, but at this point, we do not have sufficient spread in the United States that would indicate those measures.”

We know the government lies to us
We know the media lies to us

It is difficult to know what to do and what information to believe

I believe that hospitals are keeping an eye on this situation. I also believe there will be no way to keep the silent.

it'll go around the world for a couple years probably mutate in the meantime. Appears we are stuck with it now, just like aids (africa), ebola (africa), swine flu (china), sars (china), etc. Shame how many of these seem to all come out of two areas. And of course if the commies let it escape from their level 4 bio lab in wuhan they will never fess up to it. SARS came out of the same lab. Read an article said scientist were paid so little they sold off the animals experimented on for meat to unsuspecting locals! Seems about right. Since the commies won't let our cdc in to access the situation! we'll know soon enough!
meanwhile every business and the public suffer. waiting for the lawsuits. China you listening? of course! hence the silence!
