I thought with this virus you can be be infected but not show symptoms for many days?<p>Hence when HHS sent untrained staff with zero protection to meet all the infected people and then they returned all over the country afterwards on commercial flights, they essentially screwed the entire USA in one easy step, practically malicious idiocrasy.
I’m thoroughly confused. Why isn’t details of airport screening mechanics available? IIRC with SARS thermal cameras were used to screen passengers with a fever. I expect some technical details to be shared without me having to read a bunch of code (with a high probability of misunderstanding something).
The tl;dr: Health security theater catches about half of cases. Wouldn't the prudent step be to globally announce a two-week quarantine of all arriving passengers? In other words, not a total shutdown but slowing to prevent spread rather than foolishly squeeze out some short-term, imaginary economic gains. It may not be at all popular, but it would be the moral and ethical thing to do.
