> returning four days earlier from a visit with family in Wuhan, China
> County health officials located more than 60 people who’d come in contact with him, and none developed the virus in the following weeks. By Feb. 21, he was deemed fully recovered. Somehow, someone was missed.
A flight from China sounds like way more than 60 people to come in indirect contact with: same plane, same airport facilities,...
- nikofeyn 7y agothe u.s. has been extremely lackadaisical regarding the virus. somehow they thought that a travel ban was an end all solution. when i came back from china in january, there wasn't any tracking, questioning, checking, or anything of the sort. it was two CDC guys standing around talking to each other, completely ignoring the masses going through customs.
- s_y_n_t_a_x 7y agoThe ban went into effect Feb. 2nd so it's normal they weren't stopping people. I wouldn't judge the direction of the country based on your 2 second visual of CDC agents talking at an airport. I don't think they think it's an end all solution, but it helps bide time for research and helps control the spread.
- nikofeyn 7y agohow do you go from literally not even monitoring people to banning all travel (and then continue to not monitor)? that isn't "normal". it isn't logical.
- s_y_n_t_a_x 7y agoYou just said you arrived in January. The ban wasn't in place until February. Are you arguing they don't know how to stop flights? Did you go back to the airport and stake it out?
