I have no doubt they will be tested and those who test positive will be diverted for medical treatment.
One test upon arrival isn’t enough. You may not test positive right away if you’re asymptomatic. And anyone who tests positive has come into contact with others on the plane. They have to be quarantined
Right now, our government is “screening” people at several airports by asking questions and taking people’s temperature. Two big problems:
1. People lie 2. Not everyone who has this disease presents with a fever. Now they are seeing people who don’t have fevers until they become very ill.
So, we aren’t being very well protected on that front.
We’re in early stages, and it’s too easy to take a laissez-faire attitude, because you don’t want to offend or appear to take away someone’s freedom of movement.
Why would you want to bring people who don’t have the disease into those who do? The point of a quarantine is to contain the disease so that it doesn’t spread to the uninfected/untreated. Flying people out risks exposure to those outside of it.
IMO: Send citizens in quarantined cities to their embassies or consulates within their quarantined city and _fly in_ medical specialists and scientists, equipment, and drugs for governments that want give their citizens the best care they can and study the disease there.
There is a two week incubation period .
All need to be quarantined for that period on a military base and none of this house quarantine nonsense .
The test takes several days to come back
