| PentecostalTheology.comWASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Donald Trump on Wednesday suspended all travel from Europe to the United States for 30 days starting on Friday in order to fight the coronavirus.
Trump said the travel restrictions did not apply to the United Kingdom. He did not provide a list of countries but said simply the restrictions applied to all of Europe.
The president, who faces re-election in November, took the dramatic step in a somber Oval Office speech as he battles to address the health and economic shocks to Americans and responds to mounting criticism that he has underplayed the threat from the mushrooming coronavirus crisis.
“We are marshalling the full power of the federal government and the private sector to protect the American people,” he said.
“This is the most aggressive and comprehensive effort to confront a foreign virus in modern history.”
As the U.S. stock market took another hit from the virus on Wednesday, Trump said he would take emergency action to provide financial relief for workers who are ill, quarantined or caring for others due to the illness.

IF you need to get out NOW is the time… https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/11/us/coronavirus-kentucky-churches-cancel.html?fbclid=IwAR2VjfAdleqBCH7Nriw5AdEodyPmjfhJhZqrmm4KjzUbJNPaQVPPwk6Mq3I
Patrick Berthalon
What about England ?????????? It is a strange decision…..
Varnel Watson
correction Trump said the halt on travel from Europe would not include the United Kingdom, and that there would be “exemptions for Americans who have undergone appropriate screenings.”
Varnel Watson
are they NOT still in the EU Patrick Berthalon I would say it is all in the same marshal law bag Jared Cheshire
Patrick Berthalon
Troy Day no! they are not anymore in the EU!
Varnel Watson
Patrick Berthalon its not finalized and article says Europe meaning whole Europe not just EU Neil Steven Lawrence how are you planning to return from your missions
Neil Steven Lawrence
Troy Day since 1993 we have lived here most of the time and only return to the states every 2 1/2 years for about six or seven months to do fundraising. We are not scheduled to return until July 2021 when my son Joshua will enter Lee University. By that time the coronavirus will be gone or Jesus will have come… No worries here… We have plenty of toilet paper!
Varnel Watson
Neil Steven Lawrence oh wow good luck then
Jared Cheshire
Here is a good article regarding this nonsense. While I don’t agree with the part about vaccinations, the rest is pretty on point.

dont open protected content Give us the scoop pls
Jared Cheshire
Troy Day it’s basically just medical information and statistics. Every one that’s reading this has had the coronavirus multiple times in their life. All it is is the upper respiratory viral infection that you get that is not the flu. All this panic I believe is just a test run to see if the sheeple are ready for socialism. The way some of these low IQ people are making runs on the grocery stores buying a toilet paper proves that at least some are ready for it. If you go to the stores in rural areas there is none of this ridiculous panic. It is only in the major metropolitan areas where people have been conditioned to more control over their lives that this nonsense is going on.
Varnel Watson
Jared Cheshire would it prevent Trumps order?
Jared Cheshire
No.
Varnel Watson
Jared Cheshire In summary 30,000 people died from the flu last year. Another 30,000 died in car accidents. but SO WHAT – we still have a marshal ban on flights imposed
Jared Cheshire
The only thing that would prevent that is for everyone to quit freaking out over a non-issue.
Varnel Watson
Jared Cheshire that will not open flights to EU no more than freaking out will BUT you still have marshal law before elections 🙂
Jared Cheshire
Troy Day I saw meme about that earlier. All we have to do is say that the elections will be suspended because of the coronavirus and that Trump will serve four more years automatically in the media will instantly quit their panic campaign and it will all be over. LOL
Varnel Watson
Jared Cheshire it will be the most boring 4 yrs with NBA suspended as well Maybe even NO WalMart
Jared Cheshire
Well I’m fed up with Walmart anyway. They didn’t even send me a w 2 for all the work I did at the self-checkout line.
Jared Cheshire
Troy Day I don’t care about watching the NBA either, it is just the modern Roman circus. I actually think it could a good thing that sporting events are canceled for a time. It may help people concentrate on things that actually matter, like their need of God. It’s just an extremely stupid reason to cancel stuff.
Varnel Watson
Nelson Banuchi elections just got put on the back burner
Nelson Banuchi
Yep, I noticed. Wonder if anyone is going to vote? Wouldn’t be surprised if Trump calls an emergency to suspend voting and extend his term as POTUS… then we’ll really be in the dumps. He’s the absolutely worse person to lead this country is such crisis… in any crisis for that matter.
Varnel Watson
Ed Brewer I just read by someone on your wall that Trump did this to hurt the booming economy !!! Go figure 🙂
Ed Brewer
Troy Day ….glad they cleared that up for us…
Varnel Watson
Does anyone know anyone that have coronavirus.
Anyone you work with? Has your doctors office been quarantine?
Schools have been shut down, concerts shut down, and even Some churches. NBA and flights suspended Now, if you hadn’t been suspicious of your media controlling by fear then you might should take a second look at it.
Faye Hskns
What booming economy? Has anyone been watching the Stock Market??
Varnel Watson
Neil Steven Lawrence Nelson Banuchi
Nelson Banuchi
Can’t really blame him for the economy going bust. Can’t believe I said that. But, we can blame him for his incompetence are you dealing with the matter that resulted in the economy’s downturn.
Varnel Watson
Nelson Banuchi The economy will be just fine We need to worry more about them churches not opening Sunday
Neil Steven Lawrence
Troy Day this all shows how easily chaos can envelop the world and the people will be willing to take the Mark of the beast so that they can buy and sell.
Varnel Watson
Nelson Banuchi DOW down from 26 000 to 21 000 in JUST 3 short days Speaking of HYPE in economy and all this Faye Hskns RIGHT about NOW I would like to talk to Ed Brewer about those market spikes and balances he once expertised in BUT at the same time with the great help of RUSSIA I would like to thank Trump about getting gas down to 1.70 as it was under Obama once Now if we can get it down to 1.45 as under Bush-2 and then to c50 as under Clinton I may be actually voting this way again ….

Faye Hskns
Well, we will see!!
Varnel Watson
Faye Hskns what else is to see? SMH
Faye Hskns
Do you ever think about the 7seals and are they going to be happening soon?
Varnel Watson
NO Faye Hskns haven’t been thinking of the 7 seals but of the 6th Trump Neil Steven Lawrence not too sure why you and Nelson Banuchi defend Trump on thisone so much BUT there was no panic until he stopped EU flights the other day 🙂 just saying BTW I just gassed up on 1.74 Ed Brewer the 6th Trump is now good as the 2nd Obama IF he keeps on going like so may even be as good as the 1st Clinton IF the 2nd Clinton dont take over soon
Neil Steven Lawrence
Good rhymes – you know the # 1 sin of the US culture – worry.
Varnel Watson
Neil Steven Lawrence when Clinton balanced the budget and gas was c50 a gal. no one had no worries
Nelson Banuchi
I have no idea what I’m defending Trump about. Besides, I live a pretty simple economic life with just a checkbook and savings account, so any talk further than that and you lost me; so I’m not much of a competent conversationist on the economy. I just pay my bills and hope for the best…
Varnel Watson
Nelson Banuchi I meant that for Neil Steven Lawrence but if it adds up its good with me
Neil Steven Lawrence
Troy Day Clinton presided over the globalization of the world economy. Since his time things have become much more complex. Economics is not the result of one player anymore.
It is amazing how much “market confidence“ and “consumer confidence“ determines economic security and performance in the globalized economy. (con-fide —with-faith)
It’s easy to see how the 666 economic system will be installed.
One little bug can do all this, what about the disappearance of 400 million Christians and all the world babies and the appearance of a man claiming to be God and possessed by Satan himself?
The horrors of the Great Tribulation are easy to project…
My undergrad at Florida State University is in Economics.
