The United States is arranging a charter flight on Sunday to bring its citizens and diplomats back from the Chinese city of Wuhan, epicenter of the outbreak of a new coronavirus, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.
The plane, with around 230 people, will carry diplomats from the U.S. consulate as well as U.S. citizens and their families, the Journal reported, citing a person familiar with the operation.

What town?
Just lovely. People eating snakes and bats. What could possibly go wrong?
*** Fly them to Gitmo for a couple weeks. ***
That was what I thought they should do.
Dumb idea. Take provisions to them and get the heck out. How stoopid it is to bring them back here.
Of course everyone would want to be rescued.
No one trusts that these people are going to be treated properly when they get here. If we were assured of that, no problem.
I hope they are placed in isolation for two weeks on Midway .
The idiots
at the state dept need to be forced to do this.
There’s a nice runway on Midway where they could land.
One thousand American citizens in this area, but the plane only holds 230.
Looks like a reliable source....well, as reliable as MSM can be.
Also being reported by WSJ, US News....etc.
So, I’d say that it is true.
Rather than leave them there to die.
There are several safe ways to handle this. Hope they get out soon.
Several have suggested Midway.
Guantanamo?
Well, they have been refurbishing units there, I hear.
Well there’s a bad idea.
I gotta believe our medical treatment is superior and you sound like you believe the lives of those US citizens in Wuhan should be sacrificed to keep you well. Is that your position?
Why are any US citizens there? Selling out the US that’s why.
Daytona Beach
Yeah land them on some island and let see what viruses they may have.
are you joking?
Americans live all over the world
and tourist in lots of places too.
BS....leave them there....
Nobody visits central China in winter for the proposes of tourism. They are the making money and selling out the USA to the ChiComs.
