Why did the administration continue to allow international travel to and from the US even after this spread to other countries? Why weren't those 2 screened when arriving home from an infected area, better yet why weren't they in quarantine? It's called dropping the ball on multiple levels and the blame goes to the top.

So stupid. It’s a virus. It spreads. You can’t stop it. You just do your best to minimize it.

My kid got H1N1 10 years ago. Do I get to blame Obama?

Very interesting place, and depending on when you were there possibly completely different. We go usually in October when they have a program for military retirees - they do an excellent job of bringing everyone up to date on changes that affect retirees. I was there for radar repair school in '77-'78, so for me it's changed a lot. Missile and Munitions Center and School is apparently all gone, and it's all about Army systems development. It's like a campus for defense contractors - you'll see buildings with signs like Boeing and other large contractors. Also the FBI, DEA, and anyone else who gets involved with bomb threats goes there for training. They've got it so diversified that I think the base closure people don't have a chance.

Do you think we should have completely shut down international travel? Have you considered the ramifications?

Knox County Schools will dismiss 3 days for a quarter inch of snow. I am serious when I say I believe they might cancel a month of school over this. They may just cancel the remainder of the year.

Part of the CDC pandemic plan is to close daycares and schools and have schools utilize online classes. They’ve already started sending that get prepared letter out to schools.

That was the class 6 over by the PX. I still have my Redstone Federal Credit Union credit card, my first loan ever came from RFCU. A $500 signature loan at 18, I bought a guys Technics rack stereo system across the way in the barracks, you know the old ones with the glass doors with the magnet clicker in the corner? I rocked Metallica's Kill 'Em All CD until the MP's came, no one could outplay my air guitar solo to Seek and Destroy.

We don't see eye-to-eye on a lot of stuff, but our choice of cheap electronics and music was apparently quite similar in our formative days. I had a little magnet thingy glass door too.

Whether appropriate or not, at this point I almost expect it.

I can’t get over how stupid political debate has gotten.

Hey everybody, there's a global pandemic that could threaten people's lives.

Left: Great! How can we blame Trump?

To be fair, the right would do the same if a Dem were in office.

It sucks that people want to politicize tragedy. Some things just happen and it's no one's fault.
