    Default foreign entity spreads false rumors of a nationwide quarantine

    Trump administration officials say a foreign disinformation campaign is trying to spread fear amid the coronavirus pandemic, with false rumors of a nationwide quarantine and more.

    A senior administration official told Fox News on Monday that it is imperative to ensure the information about the novel coronavirus is coming from verified outlets.
    Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli
    @HomelandKen
    Hey folks, we’re not shutting down the United States. Lots of serious mis-information being peddled out there!
    “There is an ongoing effort to spread disinformation and cause undue panic,” the official told Fox News, specifically referring to the rumors of a nationwide quarantine. “There is no national quarantine for the United States.”
    The official added: “It’s important we remain vigilant in ensuring our information is coming from verified sources.”

    The Associated Press reported that federal officials are describing the disinformation as part of a deliberate effort by a foreign entity to sow fears inside the U.S., though they did not specify which foreign entity may be involved.

    The White House National Security Council took public steps to tamp down rumors, tweeting late Sunday that “Text message rumors of a national #quarantine are FAKE.”

    Kinda ironic when Trump officials are now worried about a foreign entity spreading false information, especailly when they were the same parties who worked against securing elections from foreign influence

    Probably cause it is a state run media, they aren't going to release anything that makes them look weak

    Moscow Times, under huge Putin power, still says they have 93 cases.

    What about North Korea? If the coronavirus spreads there, it would be very devastating, finally putting an end to the regime.

    Agreed on the irony. Obviously they only agree on the intell they like and disagree with the intell they don't.

    We'll see by Friday. I'll bet the tune will be much different.

    Why Friday? Why not in 6 weeks, say by Cinco de Mayo?

    Because that's the longest we're gonna go before a national 'curfew' is introduced. FAA will shut down all 'non-essential' flights indefinitely, and each state will impose similar restrictions. Only thing that will be open is grocery stores and pharmacies, for no more than 8 hours a day.

    I have no doubt Trump is enough of an authoritarian asshole to attempt to impose a national curfew, but do you really think the Republican Senate is so pussified they'll go along with it?

    He won't have to, each state will do it on their own. Look at NJ, look at Cali, look at NYC, look at MI.

    That's up to them. I support State's Rights over the Feds. Too many people, both Republicans and Democrats, seek to give more power to the Feds. I'm against doing so. The Feds are too powerful as it is.
