Lots and lots of repatriation flights starting April 1 that we never hear about on MSM, because, why print good news, right? lol
But I’d imagine we’d have some asymptomatics incoming with 100 or more rescues on each flight
I’m not sure if we had any Americans on the Brit rescue flights, but here’s one that may apply to them:

Leaked remdesivir results shows promise, helping Southern Californians with coronavirus
The anti-viral drug remdesivir outsmarts the coronavirus.
Posing as the one of the building blocks the virus needs to make copies of itself, it’s incorporated into the virus’s genome — stopping it from reproducing and essentially shutting it down in its tracks, research has found.
Developed by the Bay Area’s Gilead Sciences in 2014 to fight Ebola — which it didn’t do very well — remdesivir has been pressed into service to battle the SARS and MERS coronaviruses effectively. And now, trials involving thousands of patients at hospitals across the nation suggest it may be a potent treatment for COVID-19 as well.
also from the link:
A dozen hospitals across Southern California have enrolled — and are recruiting — patients for the trials, including Kaiser Permanente medical centers in Anaheim, Downey, Fontana, Harbor City, Los Angeles, Moreno Valley, Ontario and Panorama City; Mission Hospital Regional Medical Center; Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Newport Beach; St. Joseph Hospital of Orange; and Providence St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica.
Could also be a big factor. Thanks, I had forgotten about those repatriation flights.
