I'm really confused by this statement. Are you saying that the CDC/US Government shouldn't be warning their citizens not to travel to a place where a new deadly virus has broken out?
They can do what they want and everybody may have his opinion on this. Fact of the matter is that the risk to die from the flue in the US is dramatically higher than to die from a Corona Virus in China and even more dramatically higher than even to come into contact with the virus outside Wuhan. In particular the rest of China might well be by far safer than the entire US. The current administration has an agenda if it comes to China.
