San Francisco Declares Coronavirus State of Emergency
Read Time:58 Second
Leave it to California to be ahead of the rest of the country. San Francisco, which has yet to record a coronavirus case, hasn’t stopped Mayor London Breed from declaring a state of emergency.
It’s a bold move taken with preparedness in mind, she says, one that will allow the city to pull together extra resources and funding, speed up planning, and beef up inter-agency coordination so that the city can more rapidly respond to a crop of cases if needed. The move additionally enables future reimbursement by the state and federal governments.
Breed says that while the risk of infection remains low, it’s more than likely the city will see at least one case “given the high volume of travel between SF and mainland China.”
The Hill reports Santa Clara County did something similar earlier this month. Of the 57 confirmed cases among Americans, 40 are related to the Diamond Princess cruise ship. (Read more coronavirus stories.)

Yes but Bloomberg used crude language and Pence will do a heck of a job! They should give Trump a Nobel prize.
