CENTCOM suspends leave and liberty for troops over coronavirus fears
[link to www.militarytimes.com (secure)]

U.S. Central Command said Thursday it was suspending leave and liberty for troops and Defense Department civilian workers to and within its area of responsibility over fears related to the spread of the coronavirus.

“U.S. Central Command is taking multiple prudent measures to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 Coronavirus and to mitigate the operational risk such transmission would pose,” CENTCOM told Military Times in an emailed statement.

Good. I'm not surprised and glad to see proactive measures being taken - POTUS did say travel restrictions are/should be in place (Coronavirus press conference transcript):

"We have, through some very good early decisions, decisions that were actually ridiculed at the beginning, we closed up our borders to flights coming in from certain areas. Areas that were hit by the coronavirus and hit pretty hard, and we did it very early. A lot of people thought we shouldn’t have done it that early and we did, and it turned out to be a very good thing. And the number one priority, from our standpoint, is the health and safety of the American people, and that’s the way I viewed it when I made that decision"

Pence:

"...the president took unprecedented steps to protect the American people from the spread of this disease. He recounted those briefly, but the establishment of travel restrictions, aggressive quarantine effort of Americans that are returning, the declaration of a public health emergency, and establishing the White House Corona Task Force are all reflective of the urgency that the President has brought to a whole of government approach..."

My husband and I made travel plans for this summer and we might be cancelling them as well.

The U.S. CENTCOM area of responsibility (AOR) spans more than 4 million square miles and is populated by more than 550 million people from 22 ethnic groups, speaking 18 languages with hundreds of dialects and confessing multiple religions which transect national borders. The demographics in the AOR create opportunities for tension and rivalry.

The geography of the region consists of the intersection of three continents and globally vital commercial sea lanes, flight corridors, pipelines and overland routes. The 20 nations of the AOR, which stretches from Northeast Africa across the Middle East to Central and South Asia, have forms of governance ranging across the political spectrum, including emerging democracies, hereditary monarchies, autocracies, and Islamist theocratic regimes.

But Trump said it's just the flu and it's going to miraculously disappear....
 Quoting: ^TrInItY^


its the fear mongering that's the concern.
once panic is instilled into everyone then the lefts job is done..
like in most zombie movies... its not the zombies that literally killed everyone its the people panicking spreading false narratives without fact to those who are eager to want to believe the end is neigh..
figure this place above all would know that.. but its fallen right into the hands of those who want mass panic.
literally y'all picked the wrong doom..
no deaths but Chinese and i promise not one person anyone knows here personally has the god damn coronovirus.. influenza yes but not the plague you all have been making it out to be..
if i were to panic at the rate GLP is panicking from the top.. i would have suck started my 9mm months ago..
but you all boast on how smart we all are to TPTB but again you played right into their hands and will defend it till death lmao
this is truly fun to watch.

That's your canary in the coal mine. When have they ever locked down the military over the flu?

They feel the need to protect the fiercest warriors on the planet, but it's ok for kids to go to school?

They're only concern is continuity of government.
