It is not going to be possible to isolate every arriving person from West Africa with mild symptoms. There are too many of them, and the resources are scarce.
If they need to be isolated, or quarantined, it should be centralized. Assigning ALL hospitals to be responsible means that no one is responsible.
I’m less sure than I was 48 hours ago that the Texas hospital did something wrong. We’ll see.
There are seven flights a day from Brussels to JFK, EWR, and IAD. Assume 250 pax/flight, that’s 12 250 arrivals/week, 367 500 a month. I picked Brussels because we know you can fly there from Monrovia.
If you lived in Liberia, knew you were exposed, but were not sick (yet), wouldn’t YOU be on one of those flights? OF COURSE YOU WOULD.
This is going to become unmanageable, very quickly.
>>There are too many of them
That is easily fixed in a rational world. Unfortunately, under the current Administration, the world isn’t rational.
