One of the virus threads had a post that the Senate is going to be briefed by health officials on the coronavirus.

Went back looking for the posts about the KS legislators being taken - without advance warning - to a briefing by DHS. It was mentioned by Arnie or someone about the time that the big EQ hit Hutchinson. But what if it wasn't about the EQ - it was a briefing about what was coming down the road with the virus?? It was already active in Wuhan about that time, but hadn't made the news here. Someone said that it would be interesting to know if the leaders of other states had been pulled in for an emergency briefing. I'd bet that they did a better job of not broadcasting what was going on in other states. I'm not sure I would even begin to know how to search for that kind of information, but it sure makes you wonder. Our gov't keeps such a close eye on everything related to China, I can't help but believe our intel would have seen this happening last week. Makes sense tht if the feds are considering some kind of containment - restrictions on travel, gatherings, etc - that they would be contacting state leadership in advance.

Oh well, I may just be reaching...I'm a died-in-the-wool conspiracy theory person.
