I, and I think others, were also applauding a Government that managed to have people like this man working for it, and the hope it gave me that America might just get through the pandemic whose peak in the US we were flying towards. I felt calmer than I had in a few hours. 10/

Maybe there’s a reasonable logic to not bothering to contain spread from new arrivals given the existing scope of the spread in America; but if so, why the plane as it was? Hazmat suits on the plane and a standard “welcome to America” arrival on the ground don’t match. 21/

And that’s the other reason I’m writing this. I celebrate the individuals working on behalf of government. But I also think I should share what I saw – and my worry that it suggests a policy response that continues to lag, or at least could benefit from further coordination.22/

Probably more than enough from me, but maybe one last thing. The Jewish holiday of Passover starts tomorrow night, during which Jews around the world will tell the story of the Jews’ biblical exodus from Egypt. 23/

Exactly. My wife arrived at LAX from China on 4/5, no medical screening or special process at all. It seems irresponsible but compared to domestic Coronavirus situation, it doesn’t surprise me at all. Here in CA, local community spread is much worse than international arrival

We arrived at SFO on March 20 from Spain. We did receive a medical check in the jetway before being allowed into the airport. The medical check was performed by San Mateo County Health Department officials and paramedics. No CDC or other Feds.
