The story notes they are “all among people who traveled to the city at the center of the outbreak” (Washington Times). Some are urging Trump to declare a formal public health emergency (ABC News). China’s death toll is at 80 and the disease is spreading to other parts of the country (NY Times). From Hugh Hewitt: “According to the CDC, it’s likely that there will be more cases reported in the U.S. in the coming days and weeks, likely including person-to-person spread.” So don’t tell people on what flights/airports through infected patients traveled and times? (Twitter). Orange County, California has a confirmed case (OC Health Info). From former Senator Jim Talent: It’s been apparent for years that a global biological pandemic is the biggest single threat, other than a strategic nuclear war, to the health and economy of the United States. The pandemic could occur naturally, or it could be the product of a terrorist attack or even a laboratory accident. One of the worst-case scenarios involves a virus that is contagious through the air, which has a potentially deadly effect, and for which no vaccine or therapeutic can quickly be developed (National Review). Why hospitals aren’t ready for this (WSJ).
