He needs to fire everyone involved in this.

“isolated” from the other passengers on the plane.

Oh, they had separate cabin air?

The State Department knows best, I guess.

[Jeff Chandler]

the State Department made the decision

Revenge, hoping a pandemic will tank the economy?

[samtheman]

Officials made the decision to have them fly home anyway, but “isolated” from the other passengers on the plane.

I vote death penalty for those officials.

[Texas Eagle]

Who were the HHS officials and who at the
Deep State Department made the call. President Trump should have the patients quarantined in those officials’ homes.

[goldstategop]

Too bad the federal government aren’t people working for him on “The Apprentice”.

[Cobra64]

“Without his permission” ? Misleading headline.

[vetvetdoug]

How much does anyone wish to bet that these state department individuals that made this decision were holdovers from the Obama administration and Democrats?

[Texas Eagle]

Wait a minute. Were they infected or were they healthy? What the hell, Faux News? Your opening paragraph conflicts with the second.

[SE Mom]

As bad as this is, I’m relieved to learn his reaction. From things I read a couple of days ago it seemed the decision was made by senior White House officials. I wrongly assumed that included the president.

[allendale]

It would be paranoid to suggest that there are people within the deep state that would do anything to postpone or sabotage the next election to prevent the reelection of Trump and a Democratic debacle.

[McGruff]

...the State Department made the decision...

Fire them all and start over.

[null and void]

When Americans start dropping like flies, the MSM will blame Trump. I don't think this will suffice to get ahead of it.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

[heavy metal]

whoever is responsible should immediately be air dropped on the diamond princess...

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.

Surrrrre they were.

[Bob434]

if someone o n that flight, or anyone in the us gets the virus, and succumbs to it- those who allowed them to fly should be held accountable

[American in Israel]

The State Department should be reclassified as Domestic Enemies for more reasons than this cluster idiocy.

Everyone on that plane shares the same air. Now there are a hundred possible carriers loose on the streets.

OOPS?

[thoughtomator]

“The State Department” doesn’t make decisions.

Individuals with names do.

I cannot help but notice that the name of the decision maker is being deliberately avoided in these descriptions.

[meyer]

Furious???

Funny how Trump is always furious or angered, while the deep state president de jour is merely concerned.
