Thinking this screening process through...
Wide body plane lands with 300 people from China.
They stand in line are are checked, one by one
As they’re each cleared, they leave the airport.
Along comes passenger number 237 in line, who immediately tests positive by fever, symptoms, regions in China visited and who spent time with sick family member before flying to the US.
He had been coughing in the airplane, which recirculates cabin air.
OOPS! We just cleared 236 previous passengers from that flight to leave the terminal into the US.
Let’s hope the screening process is better than this, because this is not contained.
Only question seemingly at this point is how bad is this virus
Exactly. And some folks think that’s no big for a disease we cannot yet effectively control.
It was likely refined by the finest biomedical engineers in China. It's likely more effective than the containment facilities at the biological weapons facility down the road a few miles from Wuhan.
