Restrict their travel. Keep a close eye on them.

How contagious are they before they develop symptoms?

reply

It's my understanding there is a 2 week incubation period before the first symptoms appear. That is a big problem.

reply

According to the news I saw earlier these passengers will be quarantined for two weeks.

reply

Problem solved.

reply

Problem is solved only if the group doesn't get sick before the two weeks is up. If people start getting ill, say 10 days from now, then they would have been contagious before they were put into quarantine. Let's hope they all stay well.

reply

They will have been quarantined since landing in the U.S. I'm not worried in the least.

reply

Oh, I'm not worried. Was just discussing the situation. We they totally isolated once they landed? What happened to the flight crew? Were they the only pax?

I need to read up on this.

reply

Got ya :)

Are these American evacuees? I googled and couldn't find anything except some Americans who left Wuhan.

Edit - just saw on TV that it is Americans.

reply

Yep, Americans.

reply

I see no problem with this. I have a much bigger problem with anti-vaxxers endangering the lives of others.

reply

Absolutely. Not vaccinating my daughter never entered my mind. People can be so stupid.

reply

Trying to explain "herd immunity" to anti-vaxxers is very frustrating.

reply

I don't even bother. Trying to talk sense into stupid people is a waste of time.

reply

Amen. I'm spending less time over in politics for that reason.

reply

Trying to reason with anti vaxxers tends to be pointless and will just get your blood boiling with frustration.

reply

Yeah, let's go infect and kill Americans, since our lives aren't worth as much as foreigners' lives.

reply

Who said anything about infecting and killing Americans? They are being quarantined. You're being hysterical.

reply

Erm, they couldn't be diverted to Africa or India could they...?

reply

No reason to.

reply

No, no, of course not...

reply

Another hysteric.

reply

Another oblivious drone.

reply

Quasi they are Americans.

reply

But are they WHITE Americans?

reply

That may be a sticking point for Quasi. We must get to the bottom of this!

reply

They are Americans - why would they not come home??????

reply

He just wanted to rail against immigrants. It's what he does.

reply

It's called Virus Diversity, and you know, diversity is America's strength 😂😂😂

reply

Viruses are people too you know !

reply

So if you were travelling when an outbreak hit, wouldn't you want to be treated in your own country? As long as they are being quarantined, it should be fine.

reply

They thought they were immigrants and jumped at the chance to rail about it.

reply

Well they are already in quarantine in China aren't they ? Why go to all the expense of flying them back home just to put them in quarantine again ?

reply

Ummm, because if they aren't sick they shouldn't be left there to get sick.

reply

Ummm, if they're in quarantine and taking precautions they shouldn't get sick in the first place. And in the second place because it's a virus there's not much anyone can do about it anyway if they do get sick.


reply

So then why do you have a problem with them coming home?

reply

I haven't got a problem with it. I'm not even American. I just don't see the point of it.

reply

I don't understand what you don't see the point of. Should they just have gone back to the US on commercial flights?

reply

God Almighty, I could be having this conversation for the rest of my life...

reply

Well excuse me.

You don't understand the point of these people being chartered back to the states. I get that. You don't have a problem with them going home. So if that's the case, why are you commenting? I'm asking what you think the people should do instead of being chartered.

reply

You aren't American? Jesus Christ...…...

reply

Well he wasn't American either...

reply

So you have no skin in the game. Why are you even commenting? You are just an ideologue stirring up shit. Not a good look.

reply

I sneer at people who make up their own rules about who they think is entitled to comment on what and then have the gall to expect that people should take them seriously.


reply

I should not have assumed. I will just take your opinion with a grain of salt from now on. No worries.

reply

A wise thing to do around here no doubt.

reply

I'm guessing you are Canadian.

reply

Australian.

reply

Ah yeah, the bogan LOL :)

reply

Oh of course, someone's sock pretending to be butthurt "LOL" ;)

reply

No sock, but think what you want.
