'A hopeful change' as 3 Chinese airlines resume SFO flights (California)
SFGate ^ | 3-18-20 | Chris McGinnis

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.”

The resumption of flights is one of several early signs that the worst could be over in China, meaning the crisis will eventually come to an end here, too.

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

Strangely, flights were not yet available for booking at the time of this writing on the airline’s North America website.

“The US hasn’t lifted it’s ban yet, so no.?.”

Would have been nicer if we ever had a ban. All that happened was United, American, and Delta stopped flying to China. The Chinese carriers, such as Air China, have been and are still flying non-stop between here and China. Behold:

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 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?
