Apparently the quickly expanding global coronavirus pandemic that has already killed dozens and infected at least 1,200 within the United States has prompted Donald Trump to come up with another odd Oval Office speech Wednesday in which he focused on banning European travel and failing to mention  nary a word about available nationwide testing, shunting aside many dire aspects of the public health crisis. Could he possibly be continuing to focus on what might enhance his chances of winning reelection instead of addressing the severe health crisis before us? Two officials in the U.S. State Department said  that foreign service officers and diplomats were unprepared for the Trump announcement.. 

“It is just total chaos,” said one official currently abroad, adding that they did not know if they would have to return to the U.S. immediately or if they would need be quarantined for two weeks upon arriving. Diplomats and other U.S. staff overseas did not know if they’d be able to even visit their families back in the States.  This administration which seems to specialize in confusion has done it again.

Major League Baseball has canceled its Spring Training and opening of the 2020 season because of the coronavirus. Seems those who run “march Madness” are “looking at” contingency plans. Since beginning this paragraph wiser heads have prevailed  “Madness” has been given the boot or very costly sneaker .Wisely, Broadway has closed down theaters for four to six weeks Disney World and Disneyland are closed Along With Disneyland Paris, and Disney Cruise Lines..

Another casualty, albeit temporary, is Kentucky Fried Chicken’s “finger lickin’ good’.
