A passenger on the US evacuation flight from the coronavirus outbreak epicenter in Wuhan has reportedly tried to leave a California military base less than halfway through a mandatory 72-hour observation period.
Riverside County Health officials issued a quarantine order requiring the passenger to remain at March Air Reserve Base on Thursday.
The subject of the order, who was not identified, was one of 195 passengers who landed at the base in Riverside on Wednesday morning on a flight chartered by the State Department to remove US diplomats and private citizens from the virus-stricken Chinese city of Wuhan.
All of the passengers are being monitored for coronavirus symptoms on the base for 72 hours to ensure they do not pose a risk to the public.

Corona virus is not a big deal. It is not killing more people than the flu.
ReplyDeleteMany of the people, who have died, were elderly or sick (pre-existing conditions). This is obviously not good, but everything should not come to a screeching halt.
One thing the Chinese government could do is apply the social credit system to the outbreak. When the Chinese government has to print pamphlets telling Chinese tourists not to spit on restaurant floors and to not defecate in dressing rooms, you know its bad.
It reminds me of the hygiene pamphlets put out during WW2. Obviously, everyone was not on the same page in America at that time. Seems like we are going backward though in great big strides in major cities.
Maybe the Singapore approach of caning would work in China and the US. Coming to Canada soon, too.
"Corona virus is not a big deal." This is true. The current hysteria is not warranted. Perhaps it is being whipped up as part of the pre-text for a government power grab.
