America used to have a team of scientists and medical personnel whose job was to monitor the news for any hint of an outbreak anywhere on the planet and dispatch a team to isolate it at its’ source. The Obama administration set it up after the Ebola scare, and it dealt with several other minor outbreaks after that. Trump cut the agency in his first budget. If we had functional leadership, we wouldn’t have to be worrying about when to reopen anything, because it would never have gotten here. We would be shipping supplies to China to control it over there
