While most U.S. airlines are cutting flights to historically low numbers because of the coronavirus pandemic, three mainland Chinese carriers plan to resume non-stop flights to San Francisco International Airport this month, a move SFO officials said marks a hopeful change in direction.

China Eastern will resume a daily non-stop flight this month between its hub in Shanghai and San Francisco using a Boeing 777-300ER jet. Flights are expected to start on Saturday, March 28

I don’t get it... why would China want Californians to bring the virus back?
I’m only being 50% trollish.
This is INSANE. I do not believe for a single second that they have it "under control" in China. There is no vaccine and no "herd immunity." They are telling lies.
Has President Trump authorized and approved this??
I would like to know how many of the drug addicts/alkys/mentally deranged on the streets are infected in sanfransicko/seattle/portland/etc.
Shoot it down.

I see a lot of people outside of a hospital. Is it Chongqing... or Wuhan? Is it yesterday... or Feb 20? How do I know what I’m looking at is what some unknown-to-me rando blogger claims it is? What use is propaganda, if everyone who say it (it IS for local consumption, obviously) knows it is false?
Gotta be kidding me
“Foreign nationals who have been in mainland China for the last 14 days are banned from entering the United States. U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents are allowed to return home, but must quarantine for 14 days after their arrival.”
