President Donald Trump has taken tough steps to protect Americans from the spread of the coronavirus rampaging through China.
In an order issued Friday, federal officials announced that as of 5 p.m. Sunday, “Foreign nationals other than immediate family of U.S. citizens and permanent residents who have traveled in China in the last 14 days will be denied entry into United States.”

American citizens returning the U.S. from areas in China where they may have been exposed to the virus will be quarantined, while others coming from the rest of China will be screened for the virus.
Earlier Friday, officials said Americans who evacuated from Wuhan earlier in the week would be quarantined for up to 14 days at March Air Reserve Base in California — the first mandatory quarantine order in the U.S. in 50 years, according to NPR.
As of Saturday, about 250 had died from the virus and about 12,000 infections had been confirmed, according to The New York Times. No deaths have been reported outside of China.
Eight cases of the virus have been confirmed in the United States.
The eighth case was reported Saturday in Massachusetts. According to the Boston Herald, the man infected had been in Wuhan, China, the epicenter of the virus. The other cases have been reported in California, Arizona, Washington state and Illinois.
Trump’s actions follow the declaration of a global health emergency over the virus and a State Department warning against travel to China.
“The risk of infection for Americans remains low,” Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said, according to a White House transcript of a briefing.
“And with these and our previous actions, we are working to keep the risk low. All agencies are working aggressively to monitor this continually evolving situation and to keep the public informed in a constantly transparent way,” he said.
During the briefing, Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control, said that the coronavirus represents “a serious health situation in China, but I want to emphasize that the risk to the American public currently is low. Our goal is do all we can do to keep it that way.”
In response to the virus, incoming flights from China are limited to seven airports — San Francisco, Los Angeles International Airport, Seattle, John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, Atlanta, Honolulu, and O’Hare Airport in Chicago. Delta, United and American have canceled flights to and from China, according to CNBC. . .
Research published in “The Lancet” suggested that in Wuhan alone, the city where the virus was first detected, more than 75,000 people may be infected, according to the South China Morning Post. . .
As the virus spreads, China has come under criticism for not acting faster to reveal what was taking place in Wuhan.
“It’s clear that a much stronger public health system could save China lives and money,” Tom Frieden, former director of the CDC, said, according to The Washington Post.
“China’s public health system has modernized, but China’s political system hasn’t,” Jude Blanchette, head of China studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, said. “If anything, there’s been a regression.”

Sorry to bring this up but “proactive” is a non-word. Please use active. A thing is either active or passive. If it’s not active it’s passive. “Proactive” means in favor of being active, not actually being active, therefore it means being passive.
Got it?
Good luck. Our President is Active. Many Democrats unfortunately have been pro-active.
English Prof
Lord I pray for the people in China and worldwide that have been infected. Lord I pray Your plan of healing for them. I pray they will get the medical help they need. I pray for protection to those who are vunerable such as the young babies and children and elderly. Thank you for loving Your creation and not wanting any to perish. I pray for repentance and revival to break out and that You will heal their land. In Jesus name. Amen
Yes, under Pres. Trump, we see boatloads of reform. Thank God. Hope he can do something about Veterans’ dental insurance. Yes, believe it or not, veterans, even combat vets, are not provided dental services, even if they’re handicapped. They have to pay so-called “low cost” dental insurance to insurance companies. What a racket. Please support VVOTE’s (Vote Veterans This Election) efforts to get dental benefits for all vets.
Thank you.
The significance of what the President is doing to keep this virus at bay cannot be overstated. Thank God for giving President Trump the wisdom for seeing this correctly.
Let’s pray that the present crisis would turn the hearts of the Chinese people to the living God and that they would know that “He is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
Ps. 46:10
Agreed!
Yes, funny that all these viruses spring from the heart of a communist country.
