“Jet airliners are now the biggest carriers/vectors in transporting viruses and bacteria from point A to point Z and everything in between”
Yep they are an air recycler virus incubator. My sister is a Delta flight attendant with LA to DC flights twice a week. I’m ALMOST glad she is on medical leave for a few months with this crap going around. Between this virus and the hazardous waste uniforms loaded with heavy medals that Delta bought via Lands End (made in China) she can’t catch a break. This uniforms can’t be ruled out as the cause of her Cancer, she is one of many.
“One plane is from San Francisco.”
I once tried to buy some Visine from a Ranch market in Cupertino, a big chain grocery store, and not one person there smoke anything other than Chinese. That was 10 years ago.
for those who don’t know Cupertino is where Apple is situated south of Menlo park in north west of San Jose.

“They are one of the most unpleasant races in the galaxy - not actually evil, but bad tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous. They wouldn’t even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal without an order, signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public enquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters.
Okay, panic!

Only a few cases have been confirmed in the Bay Area. I guess that number will go up. s/

Followed, in a close second, by third worlders walking across the border.
I have a friend who is about to take a 26 hr flight......on a vacation.
I think I would cancel
I would cancel too.
My company sent me to Vegas last May. And I was kind of hoping they would send me back again this year.
But not any more. I would decline it.
The island of St. Helena looks like a nice place to escape the crowds these days...
So what’s the protocol for decontaminating a package from China?
Yup. That, Lion Foods, Marina Foods, etc. Hard to find packages with English writing on them.
