how many chinese nationals do you think will be on any flight to America? because they’re not getting off.
**
Any U.S. citizen returning to the U.S. who has been in Hubei Province in the previous 14 days will be subject to up to 14 days of mandatory quarantine.
Any U.S. citizen returning to the U.S. who has been in the rest of mainland China within the previous 14 days will undergo proactive entry health screening at a select number of ports of entry and up to 14 days of monitored self-quarantine.
Foreign nationals, other than immediate family of U.S. citizens and permanent residents, who have traveled to China within the last 14 days will be denied entry into the U.S. for this time. Once again, these actions will become effective at 5 PM EST, Sunday, February 2.
The Department of Homeland Security announced it would begin...rerouting Americans who have recently been to China to one of the seven airports — John F. Kennedy in New York, Atlanta, Chicago O’Hare, San Francisco, Seattle-Tacoma, Los Angeles and Honolulu — where the CDC will conduct health screenings.
Right. And plenty of loopholes right there.
Apparently at least 14 days when an infected and infectious person can be asymptomatic.
Self-quarantine by definition isn’t enforced.
What about others in the household or other contact are out and about if the person in quarantine is indeed infected?
The virus apparently can survive over a week on dry surfaces. How about that?
How about those who were on the plane with anyone infected?
Etc. Etc.
Of course, for everyone’s sake I hope it doesn’t take root here, but there are plenty of experts projecting otherwise, as well as reports of our current situation being underreported.
