President Trump said Thursday that travel restrictions to California and Washington, two states hit hard by the coronavirus outbreak, were possible if an area gets too hot.
One day after announcing a 30-day suspension of travel from the European Union to the United States, Trump was asked by a reporter in the Oval Office whether domestic restrictions were also possible.
Is it a possibility? Trump responded. Yes, if somebody gets a little bit out of control, if an area gets too hot.
Trump canceled his own trip to Nevada and Colorado minutes after announcing the EU travel restrictions.
Of the more than 1,400 cases of coronavirus confirmed in the United States, the largest number, 341, are in Washington state. New York has reported 327 cases, the second-highest, and California currently has 201.

If he wants to make executive orders, he should order factories to make more ventilators and start converting warehouse space to hospital beds.
Travel restrictions? We're in deep trouble.

(I hope every state does that)
