gotta run the gauntlet. Airport entrance, ticket agent, boarding gate, stewardesses, customs in US - were you in Lombardy, any contact, taking any meds, did you just cough etc. - if you can find a flight at all.
So far we’ve got about 9700 travelers from wherever, quarantined at ports of entry in Calif. I think NY just said they have about 3K. Each of the 11 ports of entry probably have a few thousand quarantined each. If they’re foreign nationals from hotspots that quarantine is mandatory 14 days and double testing before release the way I understand it. Enough in itself to stop many non-citizen tourists. Citizens get to home quarantine, tho, if they’re symptom free

Did Trump try to cut the CDC’s budget as Democrats claim?: ANALYSIS
“President Donald Trump is taking heat from Democrats for proposing budget cuts to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention amid growing fears about a new coronavirus outbreak in the United States, but administration officials say CDC funding has steadily increased since Trump took office.
“...Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said that, “during the president’s tenure, every part of our preparedness and infectious disease program activity has been enhanced and expanded.”
“Azar went on the say the president’s budget proposals are just the jumping-off point for budget negotiations.
“Budgets are like the first move in a chess game with, I’ll be honest, a fairly profligate Congress,” Azar said. “And the president starts that move with a budget knowing that we’re going to get a lot higher there as we work with Congress.”
