President Donald Trump on Monday released a series of coronavirus guidelines to slow the spread that calls for a lockdown of America, including the closing of restaurants and schools.

‘Each and every one of us has a critical role to play in stopping the spread,’ the president said in the White House briefing room.

He predicted the virus would be a threat until the summer.

‘People are talking about July, August, something like that,’ Trump said.

The two-page list, called ’15 Days to Slow the Spread,’ advises avoiding ‘eating or drinking in bars, restaurants, and food courts – use drive through, pickup, and delivery options.

It also calls on governors that have states with ‘evidence of community transmission’ to close schools in the affected areas.’ And it asks those states to address childcare issues as well as nutritional needs of children who use schools for their meals.


President Donald Trump on Monday released a series of coronavirus guidelines to slow the spread

In the United States, there are more than 3,800 confirmed cases of the coronavirus and 69 deaths

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has advised officials across the United States to crack down on large gatherings of more than 50 people for at least eight weeks as the governors of California, Illinois and Ohio close all of the bars in their states

‘We would much rather be ahead of the curve than behind it and that’s where we are,’ Trump said. ‘Therefore, my administration is recommending that all Americans including the young and healthy work to engage in schooling from home when possible, avoid a gathering in groups of more than ten people, avoid discretionary travel and avoid eating and drinking in bars, restaurants, and public food courts.’

He urged Americans to work together to fight the spread of the disease. And noted the country would celebrate together when the virus was defeated.

‘If everyone makes this change are these critical changes and sacrifices now, we will rally together as one nation and we will defeat the virus and we are going to have a big celebration altogether. We can turn the corner and turn it quickly, a lot of progress has been made,’ he said.

The recommendations also state that if you ‘are an older person, stay home and away from other people.’

And it advises that ‘even if you are young, or otherwise healthy, you are at risk and your activities can increase the risk for others.’

The guidelines also suggest avoiding social gatherings of more than 10 people, avoiding ‘discretionary travel, shopping trips, and social visits,’ and not to visit nursing homes.

Additionally, there are practical suggestions including following the directions of authorities, stay home if feel sick, staying home if you have the virus, and practicing good hygiene.

The guidelines come as New York, New Jersey and Connecticut announce their states are shutting down at 8 p.m. and several states have announced extended school closures.

New York will close its bars and restaurants at 8pm on Monday night for ‘as long as necessary’ along with casinos, gyms and movie theaters as part of an effort with neighboring states Connecticut and New Jersey to stop the spread of coronavirus.

New Jersey has also launched a statewide ‘curfew’ between the hours of 8pm and 5am for all ‘non essential travel’ but it is unclear what that is or what will happen to anyone who does not follow the rules.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has not confirmed whether or not people will be able to go to work between those hours or how he plans to enforce it, but is only saying that he ‘strongly discourages’ anyone from leaving home between those hours.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the shutdown in a tweet on Monday morning after urging Trump to shut down the country to fight coronavirus and said the current ‘patchwork quilt’ system of some states being more vigilant than others is not working.

The order applies to New York City too.

There are more than 4,000 cases of coronavirus in the US and 71 people have died.


New York City is all but shut down. Broadway has been closed since Friday, bars and restaurants will close on Tuesday morning


The city of San Francisco announced on Monday that a three week lockdown is going to be issued on Tuesday at midnight

Additionally, San Francisco’s mayor has announced an unprecedented three week lockdown that will begin on Tuesday at midnight and bans anyone from leaving their home for anything other than doctor’s visits or trips to the grocery store.

In addition to the lockdown in city parameters, six counties in the Bay Area are being told to ‘shelter in place’.

The lockdown is the strictest action to be taken in America. Anyone who breaks it faces legal repercussions.

It will last until April 7. Mayor London Breed called it a ‘defining moment’ on Monday morning.

‘This is going to be a defining moment for our city.

‘We all have a responsibility to do our part to protect our neighbors and slow the spread of this virus by staying at home unless it is absolutely essential to go outside,’ she said.

My pal’s wife, an optometrist who doesn’t (yet) want to vote for Trump had a “brilliant” idea: if everyone just stays at home for one month, the viral spread can be 100% contained. She’s right but she also hasn’t been paying attention. People are human and not all of them are altruistic, unfortunately. I think that’s what’s wrong with elite liberalism. It assumes all liberals are altruists like them when they are not. Modern liberalism flaunts every decent standard because it believes itself to be somehow exempt from any decent standard because it is so “righteous.” That’s why it’s so dangerous.

The deaths from CV19 causing so much panic when for the same period you guys have traditionally have around 10,000 road deaths (4 months since the first cases in China) and just as many from the annual flu. There is something much more sinister behind the panic being generated. All those preppers with their fortified retreats and food banks that people laugh at will be the only ones really prepared when martial law is declared.

I think there is a bigger game afoot than just hurting Trump otherwise the panic wouldn’t be so dramatic in the rest of the world. Even here in Oz it is non stop and being boosted by even those we would normally turn to as rational conservative commentators. If countries start declaring marshal law there is going to be hell to pay.

What planet are you on? Even Trump is admitting the panic is justified.

The virus is out there whether it is day time or night time but less people out might prove to be a good move. I get suspicious when each state is a BLUE state – NY, CT and NJ. Also another reason blue sanctuary states might want a curfew is to discourage looters at night.

If this helps stop the spread of the disease, I’d rather be inconvenienced now for 15 days to avoid a worse situation later.

San Fransicko locks down … but raw poop still runs down the sidewalks and into the bay …

… We have to stop the Chinese-caused Wuhan Covid-19 Sars-cov-2 virus

… because the Enemedia has idiots thinking we’re all going to die – and if the panic grows much worse – people will die of the panic

… but as far as a real health crisis is concerned – more people will die in San Fransicko of Libtard policies this year than the virus.

… But because most of the victims will be homeless, mentally ill, mentally challenged, substance abusers – who likely agree with Left-tards on every issue, though that’s irrelevant in this case …

No one will pay any attention.

Real humanitarians would invade San Fransicko, imprison the Left-tards running the place – reestablish order – and give the homeless kooks a choice between a nice, safe, drug free state facility … or go be nutters in someone else’s backyard … like Mexico.

Every American should be upset that the idiot Trumpo got tested… when he wasn’t showing symptoms…

They wasted a test on the idiot Trumpo… when Americans can’t get tests… when someone else need it…

The CDC set the rule… that a person must be having the symptoms, to get tested…

The massive lying idiot Trumpo… did NOT deserve a test!!

Gee, two days ago Trump was saying we had the coronavirus under tremendous control.
Some things are so obvious that eventually even Trump admits them.
