I wouldn't read too much into this, as corona is still active. Also, Chinese airports are fairly tough on sick passengers, so the average American doesn't want to get stuck in a holding room or quarantine hospital over there. (I cancelled a planned trip in Feb. for literally that reason, "I don't wanna get stuck in a holding room in Pudong." Also, airport staff are polite, but don't speak English. Pro tip: use a smartphone translator from English -> Chinese -> English.) But the article has an interesting statistic that's amazing: > In January, there were about 325 round-trip flights weekly between the US and China. Wow. That's 97,500 passengers each way at 300 pax per trip. There's no way to contain a pandemic with traveller numbers like that. (It does strengthen my position that the SF Bay Area likely has fairly advanced herd immunity already.)
