The effective freeze on visitors from China is a blow to U.S. hotels, retailers and other businesses that have come to rely on their spending

WSJ’s Shan Li and Stephanie Yang were quarantined for 11 days in China’s Hubei province, the epicenter of the coronavirus, before returning to the U.S. The reporters describe what life is like under a mandatory 14-day quarantine at U.

It won’t matter if you’re DEAD 💀!!!!! IT IS ALL ABOUT MONEY IN THE END☝️😷😡

economy?

FREEZ ON CHINESE ? Best to complain if anymore lost of OTHER customers .To lost western customers too !!!There are consequences to ignoring consequences that are a consequence of the blatant unwillingness to learn from the consequences

There is an epidemic in China putting many lives at risk. It is natural that in some sectors of the economy losses will occur but that soon everything will be normalized. Let these sectors seize time and plan for the future. Otherwise, death 💀.

At least all our prescription drug ingredients don't come from China. Oh, wait....

Amid coronavirus outbreak, Trump proposes slashing CDC ...

Well, then, forget it. Let them in because we don’t want to damage those hotels, retailers and other businesses’ profits. Right?

They stand more chance of dying from the flu here than corona virus

So what

Was just in Hawaii... sure didn’t look to me like there was much slowdown in visitation from China... if it was then I’d be curious to see what “normal” is...

Don’t understand why the shameless, backboneless Chinese still go to US, whose Govt under Donald Trump, Nancy Pimplosi and the craze, is one of their arch enemies, to spend their hard earned monies!🤮🤮

It’s okay, trump will just make up the difference charging the secret service more of our tax dollars for staying at his cheesy dumps. Problem solved. MAGA.

Duh

Now the United States shall think about implementing international tourist and business visit strategies as a compensation for such a measure, while other countries of America keep normality in this aspect.

How's that so? The Chinese are known to be very stingy when visiting Africa.. to a point of sharing a bottle!!

That’s a big problem, and we need to decouple!

Now you know the problem of putting all the eggs in the same basket.

Not just USA other European & Asian countries too hit badly due to blocking of entry to Chinese tourists as mainland Chinese are big spenders,many trade fairs & events too got cancelled,2020 is going to be bad for tourism industry as the next big China holiday is OCT national day

So we should allow the deadly virus into America to help the tourism industry.

And the Recession begins.

Tough tittie. Free market.

So is a bunch of travelers dying

So, you care more about the money from China than American lives?

Let’s not turn hotels into hospitals.

realDonaldTrump & netanyahu would rather pluck one of their eyes out, so that China would have both it's eyes plucked?! coronavirus is modern day bioweapon used for sabotaging their rival country China. intel will definitely fail in their evil plan to disadvantage China

Better an empty hotel than a full hospital.

Lobster is half price on the West coast.

I’d rather lose money than get some freaky Chinese bio-weapon death virus

Mini Ice age will make a bigger impact on life than this and it is NOW taking shape.

There are 7.8 billion people in the world and US is depending on 1.4 billion people of China? No tourist from India, Japan, Europe, Arab, etc?

It is best strategy to protect Ametican from man made fatal corona virus (chinese made).

It appears that China's spies are deeply embedded as surrogates within American news outlets, pushing out Communist propaganda articles such as this, which downplays their suppression of a 'rumour' that has lead to nearly 2,000 deaths.

If RMB right now comes with coronavirus, should Americans still hold our hands out ?

What I the world is the point of this? It goes without saying a potentially serious pandemic event can explode here. And WSJ is writing about hotels losing money? Good grief, let’s keep our eye on the ball WSJ!

The best medicine is the one that tastes the least pleasant.

Ah the sweet smell of communism

People are sick and dying. Kids are starving. Who gives a f*ck about these multi-million dollar corporations losing a few bucks?

Yeah, these are the priorities re: a pandemic.

Just one of the many problems with a service based economy.

Almost certain these businesses will not go broke
