Boston EMS: Sick passenger on flight from China refused to be taken to hospital
Boston25News ^ | 01/29/2020

Boston EMS and Massport were called to the airport around 3 p.m. Wednesday for a report of a sick passenger at Terminal E. Boston EMS says the passenger was evaluated on scene and refused to be taken to the hospital. Officials would not give any details about the person’s symptoms.

A source told Boston 25 News the person could refuse hospital transport because they did not fit coronavirus criteria. If they did fit the criteria, they would not be able to refuse transport. That criteria is set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

It says the passenger did not meet the coronavirus criteria, a hospital stay wasn’t mandatory. Since hospitals cost money, it’s not unreasonable for the passenger to refuse admission.

Initially Boston and other cities did not even check.

Apparently the plan to import the Soros-Gates-Canada-China
virus (which appears to be mutating, perhaps causing
changes in symptoms and signs and incubation times)
is WORKING.

In the movies, if a sick passenger refused to be hospitalized, a Nurse would sneak up behind and give him a quick jab of a powerful tranquilizer. The patient would wake up in ICU, hooked to an IV, strapped down to a gurney.
But that would never happen in real life, right?

I had General Tso’s chicken last night. Am I at risk? Yes, I know that Gen. Tsos is not really Chinese but its pretty close. I also shopped at Costco recently. Should I make sure my will is up to date?

Gotta watch the local news for this one. I'll bet they refused because they were afraid of being sent back to China..or put in quarantine

Did you buy their sushi? If yes, updating your will might not be necessarily. But some Pepto-Bismol might be.

“Yikes

I take it that you haven’t seen any of the videos coming out of China.

Should have Baker acted them as they’re clearly a danger to themselves or others.
I’m still wondering why we even allow any plane from China to land anywhere in the USA

It’s not really a joke. A few years ago,during the Ebola scare,we flew to Kenya to see some elephants. At the airport (Nairobi) there were all sorts of security and medical personnel screening everyone. Takings temps...asking questions.
