Flights continue to land in the U S from coronavirus hotspot Italy but where are the checks ? Outrage as passengers pass back into America with little or NO screening.

Test for anti bodies and vitals and question them .Planes with long flights are petri dishes in a cattle car.

[ncalburt]

They are not screening anyone .
Fox News interviewed passengers at JFK .
They were shocked by it .

[ncalburt]

I do not understand why Pence and Trump want Italy sky here hassle free and maybe infected .

[SkyPilot]

Have we given up ?

We never even started trying to keep them out.

They just got on planes, and have been waltzing right in for months now.

[SkyPilot]

I can’t fathom why Trump didn’t make that call.

He's afraid of adding to the panic, and crashing the economy even further.

“When Israel is making better decisions than the US Government, something is not right.”

That’s been happening since before 9-11.01.

[Kozak]

No such thing as an antibody test yet.

The only test we have is a PCR test for viral RNA and it takes days to hours to get results. And thanks to the CDC we are 6 weeks behind on this process.

[ncalburt]

Sadly , true .
And we may pay a huge price for the incompetence and reckless decision.
I would like to know the logic ? The Why?
The WH and CDC dont care if infected overseas passengers come here and crash at our ERs and ICU beds ?
Is that because they can use Walter Reed and not us ?

[oincobx]

Pencey, you’re doing a heckuva job

[ncalburt]

Test there vitals and see if there is a fever .
Ask questions.

[ncalburt]

Actually , Singapore has a anti body test and they use it .
Duke set up the screening program and the test works .

OK karen

[Dartoid]

Because we all care what you think. Geez

“I flatly and bluntly do not believe that no one is checking them at some point in their travels”

Someone on this site posted yesterday their daughter just came back from Italy.

While in Italy she was only asked if she went through China or was with anyone who was in China. No test of any kind and when she stepped off the plan in the US nothing.

[jstolzen]

And you know Israel is making better decisions than Trump how?

Basic logic. Quarantine all potentially infected people from coming into your country (Israel) or DON'T quarantine them (USA). One approach lets the virus spread, eventually exponentially in your country. One stops it from doing so.

Come on - this isn't hard.

[ncalburt]

Italy is in panic.
Lets not bring it here.
The economy is a mess by them doing nothing right now snd WS knows that fact ?
What have anyone like Pence done to instill confidence ?
All I see is band aids .
Singapore and Taiwan acted quickly and they are in control of the matter .
The USA wont even screen passengers from quarantined Italy.

[ncalburt]

Its looking like a Fall guy set up since no one really wanted to act .

[RicocheT]

We know of an air passenger who flew from S. Korea to San Francisco Sunday. She had her temp. checked before boarding but wasn’t checked on arrival in SF. SF did ask if she had any fruit, vegetables or meat products.

Our airports are wide open to Covi-19.

[ncalburt]

The stupidity is unreal .
The US is in denial .
They dont want to act .
So we all the infected roll right in here hassle free since we cat except the facts .
Insane asylum material .

[Kozak]

Fevers come and go.

And Tylenol and motrin.

What questions?
“do you feel sick?’

Does nothing to catch people infected but asymptomatic.

The time for airport control was 6 weeks ago.
