I am utterly terrified of what Trump is going to do at 3:00.

[Initech]

I've never had anxiety this bad before. The last time he did this he banned all travel to Europe. What's he going to do this time?

I'm in Vegas right now, if he did something extreme like ban all travel or ban travel to California (and we all know how much he loathes my state), how am I or anyone here supposed to get home?

Someone please talk me down.

[samnsara]

1. i live in wash state and hes considering a ban into our state..but seems if he wanted..

..to stop the spread he would ban travel OUT of our state. To ban it IN to our state is a deliberate attempt to hobble our economy..

[Moostache]

14. Well he does want to punish Inslee...for whatever perceived sleight there may have been.

Trump is an inhuman monster and literally the worst person in the history of the office he is infesting at the moment...

[Lotusflower70]

42. Pretty much

The petulant pissant will perceive a slight over the littlest thing. He usually has issues with anyone that is more intelligent than he is or liked. Inslee is very smart and likeable so Trump is going to be jealous.

[walkingman]

2. The only thing you can be sure of is that it will be politically motivated and all about him.

3. I'm in Aruba, impossible to get a hold of Delta. Worried i might be stranded here.

[Jamastiene]

9. Hmm, part of me wants to envy you.

If I had to be stranded anywhere, a nice vacation spot wouldn't be the worst place to be stranded. Have you tried going through one of the travel web sites? They will know how to get around that, maybe. I mean, they might get you home, maybe. Good luck!

[beaglelover]

10. We were in Aruba for 2 weeks in early Feb. There are worse places to be stranded!! (nt)

[dem4decades]

47. If i get sick here it might be really bad. Not great healthcare.

[True Blue American]

53. Aruba is

The cleanest island in the group. Might as well relax and enjoy.

Not much fun here with jammed stores, hoarding,etc.

[Initech]

16. I just found out that I can't go home for two weeks.

FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!

Fuck this stupid god damn fucking virus and fuck Trump for creating this crisis!

[mr_lebowski]

34. Why not? (nt)

[Initech]

38. See post #26.

[Lotusflower70]

32. Good luck

Delta is cutting capacity by 40% for the next 4 months. Stay safe. Be well and take care of you.

[mnhtnbb]

37. It took me 3 hours to get hold of American

when I was on Bonaire.

I finally gave up on trying to get through on their Bonaire number and was able to get through on a landline to the US 800 number in the US and leave a callback to my cellphone. They did call back within 2 hours as promised.

Good luck! You might actually do well to stay put for your planned trip.

[tinrobot]

4. Whatever he does, it won't be the right thing.

And for some reason, I find comfort in the fact that he's digging his own hole even deeper.

I have confidence in my governor and the citizens of California. We'll get through this.

[Initech]

39. That's a given!

[dewsgirl]

5. He won't do anything like that...yet. When do you go home?

Hang in there.
He's going to declare a national emergency, to hopefully free up aid.

[JCMach1]

6. Worried about flights and interstate travel

My elderly parents are visiting me.

[Jamastiene]

7. I think Trump and his admin might be the scariest thing about all of this.

There is nothing they cannot make MUCH worse. That makes an already bad situation way worse. I can't talk you down. Please move over. I need room right next to you, well, six feet away, per the latest healthcare officials' recommendation that I read (unless that has changed). Trump, or more specifically how he will mishandle this, is what scares me.

[RKP5637]

12. Anything tRump does, says, thinks turns everything into

a disaster. First I heard about 3PM, I'll have to check it out.

[Totally Tunsie]

27. +1

[lapfog_1]

8. i can't... I believe he will announce more travel restrictions

to/from blue states... California, Washington, NY.

[rzemanfl]

11. "... stays in Vegas?" I really don't think he will do that.

If you're really worried take a cab home now. I once got into a cab in Vegas that had a very tired driver. This was decades ago. Someone got into their cab in the wee hours and said. "I just won $5,000, take me to LA before I lose it."

[WyattKansas]

13. I have neither the confidence or inclination that tRUMP...

Won't take ideas from the movie 'Outbreak' with Dustin Hoffman and Morgan Freeman, especially when it comes to Blue areas.

[Moostache]

17. I was always mad about that movie's depiction of the "vaccine" being made so fast..

Trump CLEARLY believes you can manufacture a safe and effective vaccine in a few days or maybe even hours because he saw Dustin Hoffman say so in a movie once...

If I believed in a god, this would be a great time for him/her to make themselves know with a good old fashioned smiting of the Tangerine Menace...I'm willing to pledge my undying devotion and remaining life to any deity that appears and announces their presence with authority by turning Trump into a newt (or anything other than POTUS honestly)...

[Hortensis]

15. Skip being terrified when there's no reason and calm yourself

by making a list of things you can do and/or should do depending. That'll put control back in your hands.

You might consider driving home or having someone come get you if you can't rent a car. I'd think no to going by bus, though I just looked and Greyhound is still running. ?

Worst case would be sheltering in "place," i.e., Vegas, for a bit. Millions live there and have no intention of leaving. You'd want a thermometer, ibuprofen and an expectorant in case you catch cold. Etcetera. I'm thinking no to a room with HVAC you can't turn off, and isn't it nice that it isn't summer...

[Initech]

19. My brother just called and told me that I can't go home for two weeks.

I am beyond upset right now.

[Hortensis]

24. Oh, I am sorry, Initech. I'd be crying about now too.

You just have to maintain for a while. Is there somewhere else closer to home you might prefer to be?

[Initech]

26. Yeah I am staying with him.

My mom is a super high risk candidate for the virus. And she has been completely paranoid about it after someone in her school district had it.

I get the paranoia but I just am stunned right now.

[Hortensis]

41. Oh, good. So you're set and mostly need to be strong

and reassuring for your mom.

Nancy Pelosi just said the 3 most important parts of the House's coronavirus bill are testing, testing, and testing. Those will not only allow governments to establish control over spread but also be very reassuring to worried mothers and daughters.

With your mom's high risk factors, I'm sure she'll be eligible for testing as soon as available. Is she under the care of a professional who will prioritize that? If not, that goes high on your list of course.

Cool and calm. I'm glad none of you are alone.

[maryellen99]

18. Not going to lie...I'm scared nt

[durablend]

20. He'll call on his "MAGA army" to keep order

[Flaleftist]

21. I predict he will lie his ass off and do something stupid.

[Initech]

33. Oh that is a guarantee!

[tavernier]

22. He won't cancel any trips to Trump resort states

if history holds true..

[Hortensis]

25. Good prediction! Those include Initech's California.

[Newest Reality]

31. You are...

You are a true prophet!

[Fozzledick]

23. He's going to build a wall on the Chinese border and make Ukraine pay for it !!1!

[Initech]

30. China already has a wall.

[durablend]

35. "Clearly not high enough"

[Fozzledick]

49. Yeah, but that one is merely "Great". This will be the Greatest Ever!

The old one couldn't even stop the Mongols and Manchus. This one will have special spikes on top to stop the virus!

[Initech]

50. OK I needed that laugh!

[malaise]

28. He can't do anything worse than he's done re Covid-19 to date

Hope that helps

[durablend]

36. Don't bet on it

Hope Miller didn't whisper in his ear to try nuking it

[malaise]

45. Well you made me laugh

so there

[IcyPeas]

29. Declaring National Emergency

[mnhtnbb]

40. Rent a car now and drive home.

[lpbk2713]

43. Trump will do something that will benefit him financially or politically.

That's all that matters to him.

[underpants]

44. He gave people in Europe a few days to get back

Nothing will be immediate

[virgogal]

48. He banned travel FROM Europe.Relax.

[Trueblue Texan]

51. me tooo...anxiety maxed out here.

Should I drink or eat?

[Thomas Hurt]

52. I imagine if the state you are in went for Trump you are good.

[JCMach1]

54. He's 30m late

[lpbk2713]

55. He's getting an ink stain out of his shirt.

[Initech]

56. Maybe he shouldn't use a fountain pen.
