comes to mind after posting that, it conveniently fits with the interpretation that this is all a plot to bring Trump down starting with installing Obamacrat health czar (and Rahm Emmanuel's bro) at W.H.O.

I read that but I think his complaint is overblown, it was just in the immediate aftermath of the press conference. I had both CNN, MSNBC, CNBC on the last couple days and they've been bashing his idiocy and the danger of it galore.

Just came her to post this one

Ezekiel Emanuel, special adviser to the director general of the World Health Organization, told MSNBC Wednesday he found "most" of what Trump said at his briefing on the novel coronavirus "incoherent."https://t.co/nelFsC7myx

The CDC wants sick workers to stay home to prevent the spread of coronavirus, but American labor laws and the country's attitude toward work make that impossible for millions of people, writes @amandamull. https://t.co/hXkGgFxlX2

I can’t remember a time since the 79 revolution that Tehran Friday prayers have been cancelled nor a time when top ranking government officials were being hit with a virus of this type. It’s unprecedented. https://t.co/bV8ALyCX4Y

US Military Braces for Base Lockdowns in Germany as Coronavirus Cases Rise

25 Feb 2020 @ Military.com | By Oriana Pawlyk

The U.S. military is bracing for coronavirus cases to rise in Germany, potentially putting thousands of troops on lockdown or restricted movement, according to the head of U.S. European Command.

"We're anticipating an increase in the number of cases reported in Germany," Air Force Gen. Tod Wolters said in response to questions from Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Tuesday [....]

Wolters, who also serves as NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, said the military preparations are underway following recent base facility closures in Vicenza, Italy.

Roughly 7,000 U.S. service members are stationed in Vicenza. About 70% percent of those troops are on accompanied tours with spouses and children and are unable to access on-base schools and child care facilities, gyms, chapels and other public buildings. Approximately 35,000 troops reside in Italy altogether, according to Wolters.

Wolters said there is a "50-50" chance that the closures in Vicenza will be extended following an Army guideline issued Sunday that closed community and public gathering venues through this week, as reported by Stars and Stripes. According to Reuters, Italy had recorded 322 confirmed cases of coronavirus as of Monday, mostly in its northern regions. No cases have been reported in Vicenza.

Similar military measures are underway in the Pacific.

At a joint Pentagon press briefing with South Korean Defense Minister Jeong Kyeong-doo, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said that Army Gen. Robert Abrams, commander of U.S. Forces Korea, is "looking at scaling back" training exercises with Republic of Korea forces until the coronavirus cases are contained.

"The situation is quite serious," Esper said Monday.

One U.S. military dependent has tested positive for the coronavirus, named COVID-19 by the WHO, and there are at least 13 confirmed cases among South Korean service members. The dependent, believed to be the first-known U.S. military case, is the widow of a retired soldier living in South Korea.
