Coronavirus response doesn’t make sense

Definitely not an expert, however, having served in various countries requiring strict entrance and exit requirements, I’m greatly concerned. In South Korea as early as 1998, if an individual contracted an STD, they were isolated and not permitted to leave until the issue was identified and resolved (not me, no touchy).

Perplexing is the effort to fly U.S. citizens and anyone deemed appropriate into the United States as an evacuation plan from the VERY origin of the epidemic. Passenger ships are being quarantined with on-board infections. The Health Organization seems fit to say it’s all right to allow transport, yet, if you cough, you almost certainly got it. This is easily transmitted as a vector with no sympathy.

Why are our local officials and community organizations not preparing?
