Restrict their travel. Keep a close eye on them.

How contagious are they before they develop symptoms?

reply

[–] 10200 (656) 5 years ago

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

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

Problem solved.

reply

[–] 10200 (656) 5 years ago

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.

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] 10200 (656) 5 years ago

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.

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

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

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

Yep, Americans.

reply

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] robocat893 (16257) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] robocat893 (16257) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] AmeriGirl26 (15121) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

No reason to.

reply

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 5 years ago

No, no, of course not...

reply

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

Another hysteric.

reply

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 5 years ago

Another oblivious drone.

reply

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

Quasi they are Americans.

[–] actionkamen (23176) 5 years ago

But are they WHITE Americans?

reply

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] 10200 (656) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] kuku (3510) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 5 years ago

Viruses are people too you know !

reply

[–] sslssg (35199) 5 years ago

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

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 5 years ago

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

[–] sslssg (35199) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 5 years ago

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

[–] sslssg (35199) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] sslssg (35199) 5 years ago

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

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] sslssg (35199) 5 years ago

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

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 5 years ago

Well he wasn't American either...

reply

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

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

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 5 years ago

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

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 5 years ago

A wise thing to do around here no doubt.

reply

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

I'm guessing you are Canadian.

reply

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 5 years ago

Australian.

reply

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

Ah yeah, the bogan LOL :)

reply

[–] Quasimodo (16388) 5 years ago

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

reply

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

No sock, but think what you want.
