President Trump was furious that 14 Americans infected with the coronavirus returned to the United States without his permission rather than remain in quarantine overseas, according to a new report.
Trump had been briefed that the healthy U.S. passengers who spent weeks quarantined aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan would be allowed to fly home on two chartered planes -- while those who were sick or infected would stay in Japan to prevent the spread of the deadly virus.
The president became "furious" with senior advisers after learning the 14 Americans who tested positive had been put on a plane with healthy passengers, according to The Washington Post. One official told the paper that the failure to inform Trump of the decision in advance of the plane's departure was a “big operational mistake.”
Trump complained that bringing home the infected Americans could damage the adminstratration's response to the global health outbreak.
While the Americans evacuated from the ship were on buses on the tarmac in Tokyo, U.S. officials got the results back that 14 had tested positive for COVID-19 but had not yet shown symptoms. Officials made the decision to have them fly home anyway, but “isolated” from the other passengers on the plane.
“These individuals were moved in the most expeditious and safe manner to a specialized containment area on the evacuation aircraft to isolate them in accordance with standard protocol,” the State Department and Department of Health and Human Services said in a joint statement Monday.
“After consultation with HHS officials … the State Department made the decision to allow the 14 individuals, who were in isolation, separated from other passengers, and continued to be asymptomatic, to remain on the aircraft to complete the evacuation process.”

Deep State Never-Trumpers engaging in biological warfare. Yes, to Libturds, politics is warfare by other means.
It is called AFGE and ACE. Nothing like unions protecting the sick lame and lazy.
Supposedly, the isolation section (basically a trailer, within the cabin) had it’s own air supply.
Not sure how they’d even do this....but, I think this same method was used in transporting ebola patients, a few years ago.
If anyone has a link to that ^^ info, please post. I’ll look for the info, as well.
Read closer. There’s no inconsistency. The 14 in question were infected but showing no symptoms.
Probably got a little Soros money slipped into their accounts as well...
Infected but not yet overtly ill.
IOW, exposed to the virus, potentially infectious, but not yet spiking a fever.
According to the available data, infected people can infect others for weeks before they, themselves, fall ill.
This equates to the coworker dragging in sicker than a dog or a parent sending their kids to school while sick because they don’t want to take a day of vacation so they pass along a little love.
Heads need to be rolling.
The State Department over ruled the CDC. Again the State Department thought it knew better a common event. State is in need of a purge. The people there do not have the interest of Americans.
That is one happy turtle!
China sends in top investigators after coronavirus erupts in jails
More than 500 prisoners and guards in three provinces diagnosed with the illness
Officials sacked in Shandong and Zhejiang for mismanagement
Strip them of their citizenship, and send them to Wuhan.
Traitors.
Yes.
AFTER they've been quarantined with the people they let in, for a full 40 days after the last sick person in the quarantine with them recovers!
Why the **** did they put anyone on the busses until their test results came back? From the pic I saw, I’m guessing the containment on the plane was ok, but what came prior...
Hate.
People need to be fired ver that incredibly stupid decision
