According this young man, there were no extra screenings or instructions to self-quarantine at the LAX airport on Feb 6.
Flying in from Taiwan, previously in Hong Kong, previously in China, he was asked at departure in Taiwan if he had been in China in the last 14 days and on arrival at LAX if he had been in China in the last 30 days. He said nobody verified what he verbalized. His is not the first video posted about this topic; there was another one about a Chicago-bound traveler who was also has claimed there is nothing special said to them and nobody is taking temps or ‘enhanced screening’, and noone is telling them about a self-quarantine. That entry into the US was ‘anti-climatic’ compared to the checks they’d experienced on their routes here. This particular fellow intends to continue on to Mexico City from LA.
It would seem this is a critical issue that needs to be addressed tootsweet if we are to protect ourselves from citizens/residents who may try to play the system and inadvertently spread infection. Our BP/customs folks need to make it clear to entering passengers that they do need to self-quarantine.

The PTB’s have essentially given up control of this. They’ve determined we will all get this regardless of what is done. So what has ‘been done’ is for kabuki purposes only.
