Nashville, TN – Today, Tuesday, February 4th, 2020, Republican Senate candidate and conservative outsider Dr. Manny Sethi applauded President Donald Trump on taking steps to protect Americans from the Coronavirus.
“Due to the incubation period of the novel Coronavirus (“Coronavirus”), it is wise of President Trump to stop most foreign nationals who have been to China in the past 14 days from traveling to the United States,” said Dr. Manny Sethi. “Health screenings of arriving passengers are another important step.”
The Coronavirus is another reminder of why we need to know who is coming into our country. Dr. Manny is grateful to our border control officers who continue to work hard to keep Americans safe.
Dr. Manny also called on China to own up to their failure to stop the virus.
“It amazes me that a corrupt, communist government can build a massive hospital in 10 days, but it takes them nearly a month to be open and honest about a virus that is killing people,” said Dr. Manny Sethi. “Instead, they would rather intimidate doctors who report what they are seeing.”
China has had multiple viruses develop in their country over past decades, which have led to global epidemics, but they have not made appropriate progress on sanitation, health and safety standards. The Chinese government’s irresponsibility threatens the lives of not only the over 1 billion Chinese citizens, but also people around the world.
Dr. Manny was interviewed on Fox Business on the Coronavirus:
