WASHINGTON - The United States will start screening travelers for coronavirus and ramp up production of masks and test kits as the government scrambles to reassure Americans as the disease spreads and world stock markets tumbled last week.

Stock markets plunged last week, with an index of global stocks setting its largest weekly fall since the 2008 financial crisis, and more than $5 trillion wiped off the value of stocks worldwide. The United States has 75,000 test kits for coronavirus and will expand that number “radically” in coming weeks, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday.

Democrats, who will challenge Trump for the presidency in the Nov. 3 election, have criticized the administration for downplaying the crisis and not preparing for the disease to spread in the United States.

Hoax as tramps says

Mask production

People who can't afford a doctor continue to work and infect other people. Why is this logic so difficult for the US establishments to understand? Give the people Universal Health Care!

Experts are explaining about masks, I'm gathering Trump doesn't understand - when you see his hand next to his face you see how insane his face colour is!

Test your flu patients, please! Don't try to cover-up!

,”lll,

Colour of that face and those big hands: viral issue? Love the use of 'sours'! Bit close to the bone that...🤓🤓🤓

You have a factual error in this article. DM me and I’ll give you the correction

So I guess we haven’t started screening travellers yet. I knew Pence told companies like 3M not to sell those mask to residents because I went online the other day and all of them are not being sold. So in short, we were not prepared.

Ramp up mask production......but they barely work. Barely being overly generous. With such a lack of testing kits, how are they supposed to test asymptomatic travelers? And this is why covid is spreading.

Look at the difference between his natural skin color on his hands and wrist compared to the disgusting makeup color choice applied to his face. Real mean don't wear makeup. Insecure

Stock market drops ~ so now he’s calling it in

Too late, it's already here and people are getting sick. How about testing people with pneumonia regardless of location?

You know what the funniest thing would be. If Virus caches this freak on the picture. So he would se money and power are not everything!

Donald Trump highhandedly stumped the growth of the United States economy and shackled the Republican senate, perhaps - for decades. Trump's outlandish charge into the affairs of federal agencies and the boundaries of the co-equal branches of government is an outrage. It shows.

How many times will this virus kill you ! whuhanflu zombie

This headline is proof that Trump started the CoronavirusOutbreak His hats might be made in China but face masks are made in the USA the job market just shot up.

Ahem....

Masks are for the sick and health care workers, not the general public. So ramping up production won't help anything except creating panic. Most people in the United States don't need a mask

There's no scientific evidence that masks do anything, so of course that's his focus.

Why ramp up mask production for a 'hoax'?

I wonder who (Trump or otherwise) has financial interests in the companies producing the items they're insisting we buy?
