So I’m reading everywhere that you can be a carrier of the virus WITHOUT SYMPTOMS! Any idea what zip code each of these people reside in?

[spincaster]

Why in the hell are we bringing them here? We should be stopping all international travel!

[DIRTYSECRET]

Smart. Ontario is out of the way. Alaska is so cold this time of year germs freeze when one coughs. Less chance of spreading.

Typical state department. Issues travel advisory then travels to barred region.

[know.your.why]

What a sh!tty place to get dropped off at. Friggin Ontario. 20 minutes due east is the supreme shthole of San Bernardino. 20 minutes west is skid row downtown LA. Perfect.

What could possibly go wrong.

Better quarantine them for a couple weeks.

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.

Incubation period is at least two weeks. During which there are no symptoms. and the virus is fully COMMUNICABLE.

The flight, chartered by the U.S. government, is expected to leave Tuesday night before stopping in Anchorage, Alaska, to refuel. Passengers will again be screened before the plane continues on to Southern California.

“No occupants who present symptoms of illness will be allowed to proceed into the continental United States,” Wert said in the statement.

[bgill]

No symptoms today but what about in two weeks or longer? Just in time for them to disperse to a neighborhood near you.

[ComputerGuy]

Nothing to worry about, folks. We all know that government employees are far too smart to allow themselves to become infected.

Here is a video from the Ontario, CA airport commissioner on how they plan to quarantine the passengers. It’s worth a watch. They are doing a lot of things right. However, he said 3-14 day quarantine, I suggest everyone contact him and urge them to do at least 14 days, all passengers, without exception.

KEEP THEM ON THE PLANE FOR THE ENTIRE QUARANTINE PERIOD.

[Ancesthntr]

They are going to be screened in China for a disease that can be asymptomatic for as long as 2 weeks. They are NOT going to be held for two weeks in quarantine when they land.

This is a BIG mistake. We are talking about a disease that MAY have been weaponized by the Chinese government - and how else can you interpret the actions of the Chinese government as anything other than sheer panic? No one quarantines 50 million people over a very wide area with their army unless they are deathly afraid of the disease that they have? And we are so f’ing stupid as to not quarantine a couple hundred people? We should fly them to Midway and keep them there - comfortably, with internet access, plenty of food, water, movies and medical supplies with trained people...but they should be quarantined.

The movie unfolds: A planeload of people infected with a deadly virus lands in California leading to an epidemic which wipes out hundreds of thousands of people who don’t have access to adequate health care insurance. The hero has only hours to track down Patient Zero, only to discover a secret biological warfare agent created by a hostile foreign power.

Take them to San Francisco, the sanctuary city where personal hygiene is similar to those in China, and Nancy Pelosi’s district.

In the interim, we used to have some desert isles in the Pacific for interim quarantine until their status was verified.

Else, take them back into the heart of DC and the beltway and let them hug and kiss the impeachment managers for their safekeeping.
