Think about all the seaports/airports throughout this country, they have only banned travel from China and that's air travel. On Morning Joe yesterday, a researcher was quoted, there are likely at least 20,000 cases in the US by now, another researcher I read about, thinks 9,000.
It seems the blue states other than Colorado(whole other issue there), are really trying, the red states are seriously up Trump's ass. I am in Florida, we have a huge at risk population in a state that depends in tourism dollars, we are driving 1000mph into a brick wall here.
Last night Rachel covered the dangers of what this POS administration is doing, like how the CDC wanted a travel ban on all those over the age of 60, but they wouldn't allow it. Sorry, I couldn't find video, it's the podcast, her A block is totally worth your time.
