We’ll see.
But your assertion that we have ‘quickie’ swabs (like with flu or strep) deployed to airports is a false one.
Read the CDC link I provided.
Any swabbing done at the airport is shipped to the CDC for testing.
Do you think we’re doing this for every single chinese national and then parking them overnight in the airport while we wait for results?
> “Any swabbing done at the airport is shipped to the CDC for testing.”
Now you admit there is swabbing taking place?
Yes, it’s taking place and the swabs are screened locally but not confirmed locally.
Screens that come back positive do not specify coronavirus until confirmed by a lab test. All coronavirus infections are detected by the screen but more than just coronavirus is detected. There are positive tests that are confirmed to have other SARS related viruses but not the coronavirus. Travelers having positives for other viruses but not the coronavirus are presently inconvenienced by the long waiting times of the lab confirmations.
So there are legitimate criticisms of the current process but not enough to shut the world down over.
