    It's already spreading in the US. So... no it does not.

    Spreads it less fast. Turning the water off doesn’t mean the tubs not got gonna be full of water, but it’s gonna keep it from over following

    Rapid spread? Are you friggin kidding me? In a country of 340 million we only have 4567 confirmed cases and 85 deaths since the first American Coronavirus death on Feb 29. Just for comparison in that same 17 day time span 111,775 Americans have died from something other than Coronavirus.

    US CASES
    Updated March 16, 7:00 PM EDT
    Confirmed
    4,567
    Fatal
    85
    Recovered
    73
    Data from: CDC · WHO

    By the way, Trump did the most of any world leader to stop the “rapid” spread. Why does the most travel to country in the world have 5% of the world’s population yet has barely over 2% of the world’s Coronavirus cases and barely over 1% of the world’s Coronavirus deaths. Facts don’t back the lies spewing from your posts.

    The US national government, as far as I know, has of yet not made any demands to make people stop people from mingling and so stopping the spread domestically.

    The US hardly is testing people. Don't make me laugh. They tested 13K on the 13th. About 1/3 is a positive outcome. The amount of people they fail to test is massive. The amount of deaths caused by it in the US probably is massively under reported as well.

    Damn, you cant be any more incorrect. I have but 2 questions.
    1) Name the only country to implement a travel ban in the first couple days of February due to the Coronavirus?
    2) Name the country with the least Coronavirus infection to population rate?

    Hint: The answers for both are the same.

    The US govt cannot demand that without Martial Law. State govt’s are the only ones allowed to implement curfews and restrictions. Learn the laws of the land.

    The market careening back and forth like a spastic top is not a healthy situation.
    The trouble is that trump has lost the confidence of the country after his recent reactions to the corona virus.
    Here's a timeline of some of his actual quotes as the situation unfolded=

    “I know more about viruses than anyone.”
    January 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”
    February 2: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”
    February 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”
    February 25: “CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”
    February 25: “I think that's a problem that’s going to go away… They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a vaccine.”
    February 26: “The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”
    February 26: “We're going very substantially down, not up.”
    February 27: “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
    February 28: “We're ordering a lot of supplies. We're ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn't be ordering unless it was something like this. But we're ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”
    February 28: “One of my people came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia. That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it.’ They tried the impeachment hoax,” “And this is their new hoax.”
    March 2: “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don't think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?”
    March 2: “A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.”
    March 4: “If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better.”
    March 5: “I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work.”
    March 5: “The United States… has, as of now, only 129 cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!”
    March 6: “I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job at keeping it down.”
    March 6: “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They’re there. And the tests are beautiful…. the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that but pretty good.”
    March 6: “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it… Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”
    March 6: “I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault.”
    March 6: “I never heard those numbers. I would've been shocked. I would've said, 'Does anybody die from the flu? I didn't know people died from the flu,'"
    March 8: “We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus.”
    March 9: “This blindsided the world.”
    March 16: “It’s bad. It’s bad.”

    Are you really posting that the US confirmed 4300 new cases of Coronavirus on March 13th? You need to get your facts right before posting nonsense. And making you laugh will definitely not help anything. Making you research and know what your posting about is much more crucial.

    Hey! The Trumpies say its not fair to repeat the statements Trump has announced or Tweeted!

    How should Trump have any idea of what he has said? That was last month! Ot last week! Or yesterday! Or this morning!?

    Trump's a busy guy, he can't pay anything he has said, he's a man who operates from his gut and he's never wrong! Just ask VP Pence! And all the other Trumpers! They will tell you what a smart Genius he is!

    Nonsense, you're projecting. The market is dropping from expectations of a very rough few months, just as it rose when he was elected in expectation of lower taxes and regulation. Besides, I thought this was the Obama economy?

    It’s hard to believe some of the irrational thinking in this forum. Not me should have easily answered his own question with deductive reasoning.

    You sure about that? I believe the top three states for confirmed cases are Washington, New York, and California.

    Hint... if you do not test, than you do not have confirmed infections.

    Are you for real? If you put +300 million into quarantine, but the infections is already spreading among them, than the quarantine is simply idiotic.

    Nope. That is amount of total cases.
    Korea tests more people in a freaking single day than the US did in total on the 13th. It's just embarrassing how few people are tested. Just embarrassing. Maybe you recall politicians say they were working on getting a lot of tests.... meaning... we don't even have them now, sowwy.

    The states where it first appeared are the states where it is the furthest along.

    Not at all. The governors of each state are handling this just fine. So far 7 states have implemented some type of restriction and the disease seems to be in control with only 6-7 deaths per day (the vast majority being elderly with underlying health issues). The same amount of murders per day in Baltimore and Chicago.
