The CDC is urging Americans to start to prepare for the possibility of more aggressive measures to stop the spread of coronavirus in the U.S. 'It's not so much a question of if this will happen anymore, but more ... when it will happen,' an official said.

of the coronavirus illness COVID-19 in the U.S. and 40 other cases among people from the Diamond Princess cruise who were repatriated to the U.S., according to the CDC. There also are three cases among people who were repatriated from Hubei province in China, where the respiratory virus emerged months ago.

But because there are so many unknowns, state and local officials and average Americans need to be prepared, Messonnier said. He pointed to the recent community transmission of the disease in countries outside Asia, which he called"deeply concerning." This is the time to prepare for the event of community transmission in the U.S., she said. For most patients who develop COVID-19, Schuchat explained, appropriate care would mean home isolation, using health care facilities only as needed for the elderly and for those with severe cases or other medical conditions.

"There is literally a playbook for the use of these tools – one that the states and local public health have exercised," she said.

I thought President ass has a vaccine 🤷🏼‍♀️

InspiringU2 Well, I guess that dip shit Trump is caught lyin AGAIN! We all know he lies but its nice agencies like the CDC point it out! Amazing how the rallyheads insist that he doesnt lie. Either they really clueless or their denial is a 10 out 10!

InspiringU2 Guess they didn’t get Kudlow’s message it’s contained. 🤦🏼‍♀️smh

We must hope that the science can move quickly and outpace this.

FYI: A message like this from the official CDC Twitter account has to go through MANY levels of approval, including the “politicals” heading departments (AKA Trump’s people) because it could cause panic. So -this is NOT a deep State conspiracy -unless Trumps people are in on it.

Not trusting them “Azar said the money will go toward virus surveillance, state and local preparedness, the development of therapeutic treatments and vaccines, **and the building of a stockpile** of personal protective equipment such as masks.” Availabe to who?

This is horrific for those abroad and the world. We must hope that science can move quickly and outpace this.

Great. China is on a roll release a creepy virus. Say it something they ate. No this is just China putting the whole world in deep shit. This is really bad.

I told people over four years ago this was going to happen wait this is not the worst you will not believe what the globalist have planned for you

I got this

What exactly do they mean by aggressive measures?

Funding has been cut in so many places by IMPOTUS and it’s not as simple as just staffing up. Critical people and researchers have been cut

MeganGuarnier Thought 1: Stock market is going to be interesting tomorrow. Thought 2: I wonder if preppers are laughing right now? Thoughts 3+:

By doing what? Seriously, what do we do?

Just a thought - after the public being way over hyped about the swine flu, bird flu, SARS, common flu and every other latest & greatest virus, could this not be over hyped as well?

Preparing to miss some school and work - not preparing for end of days. Sheesh.

FAKE NEWS!!! The president said it was under control.

Unfortunately, we have an administration hell bent on countering the professional health authorities by deceiving the public. Trump's lies (big & small) have displaced any confidence the public once had in the gov't's ability to do the right thing for them.

A couple weeks ago NPR was actually debating whether or not seasonal influenza was a greater threat than coronavirus. Absolutely criminal. NPR isn't a real news source.

Aggressive Measures?

Meanwhile, kudlow and potus are telling the public that there’s nothing to worry about. 🤷‍♀️

Done 👍 A years worth of food supply. coronavirus
