Here’s the article that we can open and read.....

U.S. to evacuate its citizens from Wuhan, China

FTA: The United States is arranging a charter flight on Sunday to bring its citizens and diplomats back from the Chinese city of Wuhan, epicenter of the outbreak of a new coronavirus, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.

The plane, with around 230 people, will carry diplomats from the U.S. consulate as well as U.S. citizens and their families, the Journal reported, citing a person familiar with the operation.

Washington was given approval for the operation from China’s Foreign Ministry and other government agencies following negotiations in recent days, the newspaper said.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Embassy in Beijing said that on Thursday, the State Department had ordered the departure of family members and all U.S. government employees at its Wuhan consulate, but declined to comment on the report that other U.S. citizens would be evacuated from the city.

May they ride on eagle wings. And be kept out of DC until their time of quarantine is over

I read, on another thread, that there are actually around 1,000 Americans over there....and, this plane only holds the 230ish.

Praying this is a high number (the 1K0, or that other planes will be able to get all American’s out, safely.
