US President Donald Trump says he is considering travel restrictions on Italy and South Korea over coronavirus

US President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are seen just before the conclusion of the news conference on the coronavirus outbreak at the White House in Washington, US, February 26, 2020.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged Americans Tuesday to be prepared to cancel mass gatherings and urged schools and businesses to develop teleworking plans, amid dire warnings that countries are not ready to contain an outbreak that has infected 80,000 people, mostly in China. The CDC later said the latest case caught in California "did not have relevant travel history or exposure to another known patient" — meaning it could represent the first instance of "community spread" in the US, though this was not yet confirmed.More travel restrictions?

"Italy is, you know, a deeper problem, and we're checking people coming in very, very strongly from those and at some point we may cut that off," he later added. On Monday, the White House asked Congress to make at least $2.5 billion available for preparedness and response, including developing treatments and vaccines and buying equipment for a strategic national stockpile.

"Low Ratings Fake News MSDNC & @CNN are doing everything possible to make the Caronavirus look as bad as possible, including panicking markets, if possible," he tweeted, using a derogatory name for cable news network MSNBC that suggests it is connected to the Democratic National Committee

President Trump Has Never Been More Dangerous Than He Is NowTaken together, Trump’s escalating authoritarianism and rising popularity make the present moment the most harrowing of his presidency thus far. EricLevitz writes EricLevitz EricLevitz You must be noivous about more Harvey Weinsteins being brought to justice. EricLevitz & EricLevitz kindly keep your hateful rhetorics in New York. The most dangerous politician in America today lies in your party, named BernieSanders, you can try to spin it otherwise but it won't work. Reagan, JFK & our founding fathers must be rolling in their graves.
