that also gives you an idea of how well our screening is going at the airports. 12K in NY, 10K in Calif.
Feel better about screening now?
We have no choice at this point.
But, we should be banning all incoming and outgoing flights from everywhere to everywhere.
For every passenger that we screen (from a “hot spot”) there are probably a dozen that come in that could be carrying the virus (without symptoms) from other countries that are not “hot spots”.
My analogy is putting a triple lock on the front door while the side door is off the hinges.
The really dumb meth heads might be deterred from robbing the house, but I wouldn’t call it an adequate or reasonable approach to the problem. ;-)
