    You just can't do that in the USA. We have something called the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Just like how when Trump "ordered" businesses to stop working with China last year. Ya' just can't do that thing. :)

    I guess those people on that Cruise ship in S.F. didn't hear about how they're not allowed to quarantine them.

    The military might be able to do it. They could also introduce martial law.

    Interestingly, companies can't work with Cuba. How come?

    Lots of ignorance in the thread. First, this flu is all over in warm places, so no, the spring won't stop it.

    Second, the US economy is based on over consumption. When people cut back heavily, businesses go bankrupt.

    Third, half of Americans can't handle not working and not getting paid for 2 weeks. People will go into personal bankruptcy or they will go to work while sick. >>>extra spread compared to other countries

    Ever heard of the R-PAID?

    That will give the American workforce a bit more cash and stimulate economic growth.

    Nope. I also never heard of the American exchequer or prime minister. Is that a new TV series?
