Health officials in Washington state, Chicago and Arizona have all reported one case each, while California has reported two patients infected with the virus. All five of the patients recently traveled to the U.S. from Wuhan, China, where 2019-nCoV was first identified.As of Jan. 26, at least five people in the U.S. were confirmed with having the 2019 novel coronavirus, or 2019-nCoV. Health officials in Washington state, Chicago and Arizona have all reported one case each, while California has reported two patients infected with the virus. Over 2,800 confirmed cases of 2019-nCoV have been reported worldwide, with most of those patients in China. All 80 of the people who have died were in China, including a doctor who treated patients at a hospital in Wuhan. "Given the rate at which public health officials are capable of gaining insight into the severity of such an outbreak, can you offer guidance as to when and how the federal government would decide to implement travel restrictions in the event that an outbreak like this one merited them?" Hawley asked in a Jan. 24 letter to the secretaries of Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, 4 State and Transportation. Hawley also raised the issue of travel restrictions with top U.S. public health officials during a Jan. 24 briefing for senators on Capitol Hill, Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, confirmed. Fauci said both he and Robert Redfield, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told the senators that imposing travel restrictions was "not a good idea at this time." "That would create a lot of disruption economically and otherwise and it wouldn't necessarily have a positive effect," Fauci told S&P Global Market Intelligence. Exactly how many infected people did Fauci want introduced into a the United States? 100? 1,000? How many weeks cut off of the response time? Fauci opposes restrictions on interstate travel https://nypost.com/2020/03/15/fauci-no-immediate-need-for-domestic-travelban/ Fauci: No ‘immediate’ need for domestic travel ban By Social Links forMark Moore Published March 15, 2020, 12:07 p.m. ET Anthony Fauci Anthony Fauci 5 AFP via Getty Images Dr. Anthony Fauci, a member of the White House’s coronavirus task force, said he doesn’t see the need “in the immediate future” for the US to implement travel restrictions domestically because of the outbreak. “I mean, they’ve been discussed, but not seriously discussed,” Fauci said on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday. “I don’t see that right now or in the immediate future. But remember, we are very open-minded about whatever it takes to preserve the health of the American public.” President Trump raised the idea of limiting travel in the US during a White House news conference Saturday. “If you don’t have to travel, I wouldn’t do it. We want this thing to end. We don’t want a lot of people getting infected,” he said. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said visitors from states with outbreaks are traveling to other areas of the country and infecting people. “We’re seeing cases where people clearly contracted it somewhere else and brought it here,” DeSantis said on Saturday. Florida has 113 coronavirus cases and four deaths. The Trump administration has instituted travel bans for China, South Korea, Iran, Europe and the United Kingdom and Ireland as global cases of coronavirus have surpassed 162,000 and the death toll is at 6,069. American citizens returning home from overseas have been met with long lines for screening at airports across the country. Fauci, who heads up the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said the government doesn’t like to see such large crowds because of the ease of spreading the virus. 6 “Obviously whenever you have crowds, that’s the thing we’ve been talking about that we really want to implement is to have that kind of social separation, that is countermanding that and hopefully people understand that you don’t have to rush back,” he said on “Fox News Sunday.” But he said he understands that when people are confronted by a travel ban, “they immediately want to … get home.” Did Fauci want to be fighting COVID everywhere at the same time without trying to compartmentalize it? There would have been few nurses in reserve to send the the hard hit areas.
