Viking has suspended its river and ocean cruises until May 1, according to a company statement.
"We will be suspending all travel from Europe to the United States for the next 30 days. The new rules will go into effect Friday at midnight. These restrictions will are be adjusted subject to conditions on the ground," the President said from the Oval Office.
Trump said there will be certain exemptions made for certain Americans "who have undergone appropriate screenings."
"These prohibitions will not only apply to the tremendous amount of trade and cargo, but various other things as we get approval. Anything coming from Europe to the United States is what we are discussing. These restrictions will also not apply to the United Kingdom," Trump added.
President Trump said the U.S. is banning all air travel from Europe, though the United Kingdom is exempt. The reality, according to top officials at the Department of Homeland Security, is that the ban on travel from Europe doesn’t apply to U.S. citizens and permanent residents.

This whole isolate ourselves, but not really, from Europe is beyond stupid. Who thought this plan up?
Have we stopped travel and imports from China yet? You know, where this outbreak started...

Probably low, but call ahead. A lot of places are going to be closed that you might think would never close.

Started watching the Andromeda strain on Amazon yesterday but I had to give it up because it was too unrealistic.
Not because the big bad was a blood clotting, out of space, deadly virus; but because the US government had way more control of the situation than ours will even pretend to be. I mean they built a giant underground bright red bunker for chrissake.
