The headline makes it sound worse than it really is.
It’s not ‘most of the Americans who got evacuated’, it’s ‘most of the 14 Americans that had already tested positive or that they already strongly suspected had the virus’.
So there’s no real news here. Just confirmation of what was already thought.
EXACTLY—ALL should read your post!!

Exactly. At least there are some FReepers who are capable of processing information, rather than getting emotional based on the headline.
Agreed, but I saw the same headline in a local online paper.
The “news” is that the AP sent out the non-news with an extremely misleading, and inflaming, headline that is now going across the country via local papers and maybe even radio stations. The headline implies that they were not previously-detected cases when they left quarantine which, as you said, is just not true.
This is just the cohort of already-infected Americans who were diagnosed by the Japanese earlier. Omaha is where we decided to hospitalize them once they were brought back here. That will almost double the U.S. cases, however, once they’re included in the count.
I agree. That was dumb. Written by a person who is deliberately slanting the coverage or, more likely, an editor who doesn’t have the discernment to write properly.
