Pompeo Urges Americans Abroad To Return Home Immediately
https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3830769/posts
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is urging Americans who are still abroad and wish to return to the United States to do so “immediately,” as commercial and government-chartered flights could soon stop due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“Americans who wish to return home from abroad should do so immediately and make arrangements to accomplish that,” Pompeo said during a Tuesday briefing.
Pompeo said his repatriation task force is committed to bringing all U.S. citizens home, but cautioned that the window to do so is becoming more narrow.
There are only 330,000 medical laboratory scientists in the USA.
The size of that work force is a limiting factor until there is a new more automated test.
