Refuse anyone from those countries and anyone who has a stamp on their passport from those countries in the last year.”
I don’t know of any airport or airline that checks passports for incoming passengers on a flight that originated in the U.S. So, like the guy in Dallas who is infected, once in the U.S. international passengers can travel all over the U.S. without any questions being raised.
Perhaps they do this on flights that originated outside the U.S. The issue along the southern border presents an entirely different set of problems as these people generally have no papers at all yet are allowed to cross without their progress being impeded.
I would think it would be relatively easy to just issue an order that non-stop flights from the affected countries would not be allowed to land anywhere in the U.S. But that wasn’t done from the get go and that germ is already out of the test tube.
Don’t think there is anyone in any government agency who has given extensive thought to this issue, put a plan in place and set the plan in motion. Certainly part of it would have to include closing the southern border and we know that isn’t going to happen.
“I don’t know of any airport or airline that checks passports for incoming passengers on a flight that originated in the U.S.”
Yes, that’s why you refuse entry into the USA.
I get hassled at the border all the time about my passport, and I carry a USA and an Israeli passport.
