On the recommendation of the White House CoronaVirus Task Force, and upon consultation with the Governor’s of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, I have asked the @CDCgov to issue a strong Travel Advisory, to be administered by the Governors, in consultation with the....
TRUMP's claim
03/02: "A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly."
03/04: "If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better."
03/05: "I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work."
03/05: "The United States... has, as of now, only 129 cases... and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!"
03/06: "I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down... a tremendous job at keeping it down."
03/06: "Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They’re there. And the tests are beautiful.... The tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that but pretty good."
03/06: "I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it... Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president."
03/06: "I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault."
03/07: "No, I’m not concerned at all. No, I’m not."
03/08: "We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus."
美国武汉肺炎死亡病例突破2000人，总统川普考量隔离纽约地区与相邻州，不过纽约州长古莫（Andrew Cuomo）大表反对。
约翰霍普金斯大学（Johns Hopkins University）统计，截至今晚为止，全美2019冠状病毒疾病（COVID-19，俗称武汉肺炎）病亡人数达2010人，仅3天之内人数翻倍；而死亡病例中纽约市占1/4，为全美受创最重疫区。
另外，全美确诊病例达12万1000人，为全球最多。
川普今天表示，他正考量对纽约与部分新泽西州与康乃狄克州，施行为期两周的隔离措施，以减缓病毒扩散到其他疫情较轻的地区。
川普指出，他可能在今天稍晚作出决定。纽约州长古莫表示，当天稍早与川普通电话时，总统并未提到封城的事。
古莫说，对纽约实施旅行禁令，将会引起大混乱。
此地区为美东经济火车头，占全美人口10%、占国内生产毛额12%，目前并不清楚川普是否能封锁进出当地的陆海空交通。
目前有些州已实施管制，纽约客抵达佛罗里达州与罗德岛州，若想留下来，须受令居家隔离。
而宾夕法尼亚州与西维吉尼亚州州长已要求纽约客，实行自愿式居家检疫。
地方强烈反弹 川普改口：没必要隔离纽约等3州
美国总统川普今天表示，没有必要为遏止武汉肺炎疫情扩散，对纽约地区祭出隔离措施，还说他已要求联邦卫生官员发布「旅游警示」。
在地方当局强烈反弹之下，川普今晚决定不对纽约和邻近地区实施广泛封锁措施。地方官员警告，封城恐引发恐慌。
川普在推特说，纽约州、新泽西州和康乃狄克州州长与联邦政府协商后，将发布旅游警示。
川普推文说：「隔离并非必要之举。美国疾病管制暨预防中心（CDC）今晚将公布完整细节。」
