CDC needs to observe and investigate this outbreak carefully and determine if this is really the COVID-19 virus or some other pathogen. This outbreak whatever it actually turn out to be is immensely disconcerting. These quarantines, however impressive the photo, are leaky and ineffective. Airline service from Italy to multiple points in the US is continuing.
I have clients that just left Vietnam to Italy and are trying to get home. They changed travel plans right into the middle of Northern Italy. Originally they were going to go to Japan...after Vietnam. What horrible luck...
