Level 4 travel advisory imminent

News reports this morning that the US State Department is about to announce an unprecedented "Level 4" travel advisory for all Americans. It boils down to: don't leave the country, and if you are already overseas, come home now (and if you can't get out of wherever you are stuck, hunker down where you are).

US government is already overwhelmed and doesn't need Americans getting themselves into trouble. Stay home and don't be part of the problem. If you think it's fake news, go to the CDC website for the latest updates: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html

The Department of State advises U.S. citizens to avoid all international travel due to the global impact of COVID-19. In countries where commercial departure options remain available, U.S. citizens who live in the United States should arrange for immediate return to the United States, unless they are prepared to remain abroad for an indefinite period.
