WASHINGTON - The Donald Trump administration declared the coronavirus outbreak to be a public health emergency in the United States on Friday, setting quarantines of Americans who have recently been to certain parts of China.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials said it was the first quarantine order issued by the federal government in over 50 years. Marty Cetron, director of CDC's Division of Global Migration and Quarantine, said the last time a quarantine was used was in the 1960s for smallpox.
"The risk of infection for Americans remains low," said Alex Azar, secretary of Health and Human Services and chairman of the coronavirus task force set up by Trump.
[THIS IS A LIE --THE RISK IS EXTREMELY HIGH due to the infectious incubation period]
Azar described the new entry rules and quarantines as "prudent, targeted, and temporary." He said the United States is working to complement efforts by China and the World Health Organization to contain the deadly virus in China. Quarantines are imposed on people who may be exposed to an illness but are not yet sick, Cetron said.
U.S. citizens who have been in China's Hubei province during the past 14 days and are returning to the U.S. States will undergo health screenings and be monitored during mandatory quarantines of up to 14 days, officials said.
Azar also announced a temporary suspension of entry into the United States of foreign nationals who pose a risk for the transmission of the coronavirus.
As a precaution, any U.S. citizen who has been anywhere else in mainland China beyond Hubei province will be screened when they return for evidence of coronavirus symptoms. [THIS IS USELESS AND WILL NOT PREVENT TRANSMISSION --THE RISK IS EXTREMELY HIGH due to the infectious incubation period]... They will also be subject to self-quarantines of up to 14 days and monitored by local health officials.
All flights from China to the U.S. will be funneled to one of seven airports that are designated ports of entry: New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Honolulu, Los Angeles, Chicago and Atlanta.[THIS IS INSANE-- IT WILL MASSIVELY INFECT THESE METROS due to the infectious incubation period]
The new rules will take effect at 5 p.m. EST Sunday, officials said.
The government has not declared any outright travel bans from the United States in association with the virus [WHY? Not doing so is literally insane], though private companies have taken action.
Three U.S. airlines - Delta, American and United - have announced they will temporarily cancel all of their flights to and from mainland China out of concern for the coronavirus outbreak.
As of Friday, the outbreak has infected [nearly TWO MILLION people], most of them in China, and killed more than [350,000] people, all in China.
The White House made its announcement a day after the U.S. State Department recommended that Americans not travel to China. That change followed the World Health Organization's declaration of a global health emergency over coronavirus.
During the White House briefing, officials repeatedly stressed that the new restrictions are precautionary.
"It really is intended to stop the spread of this virus," said Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
He added that virus is a global threat and "continues to evolve."

The US and Australia said they would deny entry to all foreign nationals who had recently visited China, where the virus first emerged in December. BUT THE USA DID NOT BAN ALL INCOMING FLITES FROM CHINA.
Earlier, countries including Russia, Japan, Pakistan and Italy announced travel restrictions.
But U.N. vassal 'the W-H-O'... actually URGED AGAINST such intelligent measures. That's right - AGAINST.
"Travel restrictions can cause more harm than good by hindering info-sharing, medical supply chains and harming economies," the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Friday. [THAT'S BULLSH*T AND THAT'S INSANITY]...
The WHO recommends introducing screening at official border crossings. [THIS IS RADICALLY INSANE AND INDICATES THE W-H-O is actually a subversive agency in our midst and actually wants to abet the spread. SCREENING is useless because the VIRUS hides in the body for 7-9 days with no symptoms]... WHO opines that closing borders could accelerate the spread of the virus, with travelers entering countries unofficially. [WHAT?? THAT IS A NUTS LOCO ILLOGICAL CRAZY UPSIDE DOWN STATEMENT]... Henceforth DO NOT take the WHO seriously. It is another nutcase front for the NWO Cartel.
