Restricting travel from Europe & China isn't a typical response to a seasonal flu.

I think they’re referring to everything up until now.

Right. Up until last night the president just kept comparing it to the flu. I'm glad we're getting serious, though since the coronavirus is already wide-spread in the US I'm not sure how much a travel restriction will do now. Hopefully it will slow it down, which would help.

We really need massively expanded testing now, though we've known that for a while and somehow it hasn't happened yet.
