CDC: The Question Isn't If We'll Have a Coronavirus Outbreak, But When
Does everyone remember the AKSHUALLY brigade of the media telling us three weeks ago that this was no big deal and AKSHUALLY not nearly as dangerous as the flu?
Enemies of the People.
Liberals -- including globalist NeverTrump GOPers -- are such religious maniacs on their Holy Doctrine of Open Borders that they'll gladly risk thousands of US deaths before they'll countenance travel restrictions.
"It's not so much a question of if this will happen any more, but rather more a question of exactly when this will happen and how many people in this country will have severe illness," Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the head of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said during a media briefing Tuesday.

Tom Cruise had planned to shoot the next Mission: Impossible movie in Italy for three weeks. But filming has been halted due to the outbreak.
Illegal border crossers are going to be a major vector of disease in the US -- obviously, no one sneaking across the border is going to wait in quarantine for two weeks. No one gets a coronavirus test before a night crossing.
And there are going to be outbreaks in illegal immigrant communities, which will then spread to the general population.
But the important thing is to pretend we don't know that and all join together in Pandemic Solidarity. We must share each other's deadly diseases equally -- that's the only Just and Equitable way in this New World Order of unhinged transnational progressivism/radical corporate archlibertarianism.
Nothing -- not even the potential for tens of thousands of deaths -- must stand in the way of the free movement of people and goods across fictitious "national borders."
