Madness: Chinese Airlines Will Resume Flights to Locked-Down California

“What in the wide, wide world of sports is a-goin’ on here?” – Thursday evening, depraved Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom put his entire state population under a lockdown order:

The Price Of A New Grand Cherokee Will Leave You Astounded! Looking For Brand New Grand Cherokee?

Other than New York’s Andrew Cuomo, Newsom has been the nation’s most aggressive governor in using draconian tactics to control his population during this crisis. It’s important to note that his crisis was caused and great exacerbated by 10,000 Chinese citizens per day flowing into this country during December and January while Chinese communist government officials lied to the world about the extent of the outbreak in Wuhan province. The vast majority of those 10,000 Chinese citizens arrived on jumbo jets flying from China to destinations on the West and East coasts of America.

Luckly, President Donald Trump acted quickly to end the madness, issuing a travel ban by Chinese citizens to the U.S. on January 31, likely saving thousands of American lives in the process. It’s also important to note that Trump was roundly demonized by Democrat politicians like Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders for taking that crucial action. There is no question that no Democrat president would have made this decision to save American lives.

I go through all of this today because of a new report by the San Francisco Chronicle that Chinese airlines are suddenly planning to resume flights from mainland China to California as soon as March 28, just six days from now.

From that piece:

While most U.S. airlines are cutting flights to historically low numbers because of the coronavirus pandemic, three mainland Chinese carriers plan to resume non-stop flights to San Francisco International Airport this month, a move SFO officials said “marks a hopeful change in direction.”

The resumption of flights is one of several early signs that the worst could be over in China, meaning the crisis will eventually come to an end here, too.

China Eastern will resume a daily non-stop flight this month between its hub in Shanghai and San Francisco using a Boeing 777-300ER jet. Flights are expected to start on Saturday, March 28.

[End]

Huh? Beg pardon? Say what????

What dark madness is this? We have a state whose population is in full lockdown thanks to a virus imported from China now planning to welcome new flights from China with open arms?

Later in the piece, we get information that is somewhat comforting:

Foreign nationals who have been in mainland China for the last 14 days are banned from entering the United States. U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents are allowed to return home, but must quarantine for 14 days after their arrival.

So who might book these flights? Undoubtedly, it will be the people who urgently need to travel intercontinentally.

Perhaps it’s the Americans who have been in China for the past two months — there are many who split their time between family in the mainland and Northern California — or the foreign nationals here on the West Coast who have been unable to return home until now.

And of course, those big jets have big cargo holds, and there is plenty of pent-up demand for U.S. and Chinese products on both sides of the Pacific.

All three airlines are majority owned by the Chinese government (Air China is the national flag carrier), so operating these flights at near-empty loads and at a financial loss should not be much of a concern for each carrier. The likelihood is these flights will be mostly empty, and that’s okay when you have the deep pockets of the Chinese government to finance these flights.

[End]

No question there is pent-up demand for goods from China, but that demand only further points to the madness that the U.S., thanks to 28 years of globalist administration prior to Trump’s taking office, allowed our county to become insanely dependent on China for the supply chains for a vast array of critical products.

The very fact that our own government is even contemplating allowing flights from China to California to resume while the California population is being told to shelter in place is a special kind of madness of its own. And it needs to end.

This crisis is a golden opportunity for President Trump to force any U.S. corporation that will be receiving bailout funds to move their entire supply chains and the jobs associated with them back to America. Period.

Don’t let this crisis go to waste, Mr. President. End this madness.

That is all.

The flights between here and China never actually stopped, although they were greatly reduced (I read from 15,000 per day to 1,000 per day). What did stop was the US carriers flying there. What also happened was that the Chinese carriers greatly cut back, but not to zero flights. So this is more of an increase in frequency, than a resumption of flights between here and China.

As it is, at least prior to this increase, the price of flying between here and China got very expensive, increasing from well under $1,000 (including alcohol and bags) pre-Corona to over $3,000 - so it’s not like there was a huge demand.

All those thousands of Chinese dual citizens have the right to come home. Why do you think the rich Chinese spent so much money having kids in the US. And they get to bring their parents too.

“do the Red Chinese have a new variant of their killer Wuhan virus”

The Chink biolab in Wuhan forgot to test their killer virus against old drugs like chloroquine. They’ve now altered the virus DNA to be resistant to those drugs. Coronavirus #2 will be arriving in LA on the 28th.

[freedumb2003]

That is a ghastly thing to say.

[QuigleyDU]

LOL, zero chance this happens. Trump standing in the way.

[Starboard]

A most excellent point that probably has not been lost on the Secret Service. A little too coincidental.

Wait, are we all out of anti-aircraft missiles?

“ This crisis is a golden opportunity for President Trump to force any U.S. corporation that will be receiving bailout funds to move their entire supply chains and the jobs associated with them back to America. Period.”

That’s a question that won’t get asked of him at the White House briefings. The questions only come from the left. There’s no diversity of perspectives or policy concerns represented. Why don’t they open up these briefings up to more people and organizations, and include people from across the country via Skype?

[atc23]

You bet they do. More is coming

[lgjhn23]

Insanity!! There should be NOTHING coming in to the USA from China.
It’s like getting wounded, and then deliberately standing up and letting them shoot you again.....crazy.

[firebrand]

Something like that anyway.

[jazminerose]

Still smokin those dems outta their holes.

Someone needs to have his allowance cut off.

[FreeReign]

Are these cargo planes?

[null and void]

"...or the foreign nationals here on the West Coast who have been unable to return home until now."

As far as I'm concerned they can all take a slow boat to China.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

Gavin the Gruesome, his nutty Aunt Nancy and a whole lot of other people just love to LARP that they are President.

A great question. Its incomprehensible why they don't do this. Instead the White House seems happy to let a bunch of lefist jackals dominate EVERY presser.

“ the White House seems happy to let a bunch of lefist jackals dominate EVERY presser.”

That White House communications director - what’s her name? - doesn’t strike me as the brightest bulb.

[Meatspace]

That’s just weird that California is the only state that can overrule the FAA.

[Carl Vehse]

Following their bioterrorist blitzkrieg, the ChiComs, aided by their allies in California and the Deep State, want to deliver a second attack to destroy the United States.

Situation normal for the U.S. really. We allow other countries to get away with too much IMO.
