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.
