Sounds like you speak from experience........And less expensive than Nomex.
Don't try it with dog barf.

Negative. Don't have to jump off a cliff to know it's a bad idea.Sounds like you speak from experience........
That's what got me, if the UK is exempt, what's to keep people from just traveling there and take a flight?Best of luck to you. But, won't that flight be cancelled per the new order effectively closing the border with EU? If I were you I would try to get a flight departing UK which is likely to have fewer cancellations since it is exempted from the ban.
It might keep Andy's place or Betty's place from burning down.A better analogy would be a forest fire. If the forest is already burning in 1000 places, then just preventing new fires from starting won't stop the whole forest from burning down.
"Perceived Illogic and Impracticality"The idea as clarified by the WH is that no matter the departing airport, if you've been to a proscribed country in last 14 days you can't get in except for US folks. Also, it was not made clear last night that US folks returning could get in... A very poorly worded speech.
But I expect nearly all flights from EU countries to US will be cancelled with just a few running to bring Americans home. Home to quarantine.
Lots of confusion after last night's speech.
As reflected in today's markets.
A few clarifications here:

Bottom line:
- Trade is still on, despite what Trump had said
- Travel is still on, for US citizens, permanent residents, and immediate family members of U.S. citizens, though it just got harder as airlines are starting to cancel flights
- Panic is still on * 2
I'm sorry, but were you seriously expecting that from our government?
It had stopped doing that a while back.
Why would anyone expect a change. Consistency is to be expected from everyone.It’s not “political crap” to point out that the President addressed the nation in a nationally televised Oval Office address and gave out inaccurate and incomplete information.
He literally said that no trade or cargo would enter the country from Europe for the next 30 days. That’s not even remotely true. Completely false. That statement triggered a lot of futures trading bidding the market down in real time during the speech. This was a prepared teleprompter speech. Why can’t they get this stuff straight? How can you put out a false statement about something that important that will obviously tank the stock market?
Some people will say anything and do anything to maintain their present positionMy main takeaways when I watched the speech were that there will be travel restrictions, which I think is probably a good idea, even if he blew it on communicating the scope and what it would apply to. And there would be some kind of economic measures, although I’m not sure exactly how much of that is a done deal or how effective it would be.
But my main concerns and questions were not addressed. What is going on with testing? Where are we at with that? Not a word about it. There have been conflicting and inconsistent statements about the availability of test kits from the president, Vice President, HHS secretary, and others over the past week. This speech was a chance to clear it all up. He didn’t even talk about it.
What is the government doing to deal with the spread of the virus domestically? Maybe travel restrictions will help prevent incoming cases, but it’s here already. It’s not all coming in from overseas. It’s spreading in our communities. How are we dealing with that? Is our healthcare system ready? Will there be enough hospital beds, ventilators, caregivers, medicine, etc.?
Also there was misinformation about the health insurance industry. He said something about a deal with the insurance industry to waive copays for tests and treatment. The insurance industry is disputing the details of that. And however that turns out, it doesn’t address the even more important question of deductibles. Having your copay waived doesn’t help you if you haven’t met your deductible yet.
Make sure you dont use the fiberglass insulation by mistake. Why do I know that?...............I've got a big Christmas popcorn can full of dog barf, but that would really make a disgusting mess and I've got enough TP anyway.

Yeah, I'm encouraged by seeing the RIGHT moves being taken everywhere in the US including places that don't have or barely have cases yet. I just watched a video that pointed out that massively affected Italy and Iran did not cut off travel from China as they should have because they are both major China fans due to their bad economic situations. China has plenty of money to buy friends and influence... and viruses to bring down their population.Back on point. Like cw says, let's avoid political stuff and talk MEASURES to mitigate the spread.
Washington state just announced all gatherings of 250 people or more are cancelled.
Includes ALL gatherings: sporting events, church services, festivals, family celebrations, etc.
Shortly after Oregon announced they are following suit.
If health officials can slow it down MAYBE they can avoid overwhelming the health care system.
Hopefully by the time the next wave appears (if it appears) there will be an effective vaccine available.
Still months off.
From China. Which is now largely past the worst of it and getting back to work.80% of prescription drugs consumed in USA come from where?

PGA tour events cancelled. I find this interesting as, of any sport, this is the most individual with low proximity to others, or at least where the proximity can be more controlled in typically a 600 acre "field."

No, actually, they had already made the decision to close the gates and have no spectators. Really, I think it comes down to travel, except as much as most PGA pros are paid these days most fly private jets.Because of risks to the gallery, probably:

OK, understanding news reports now. With these events there are "choke" areas such as the locker rooms, caddie quarters, press tents, etc. They also had identified infected individuals in particular counties in which events were planned. With all that, they decided to shut the PGA schedule down.Because of risks to the gallery, probably:
