Is this what we're reduced to now, that we can't have a conversation based on what was actually said?
If you had asked what I thought should've been done, I would've said that every American should've been brought home in isolated flights under quarantine, not on a chartered flight with unsuspecting other passengers, and then tested and/or held in quarantine until they were negative or past the quarantine period. There are still Americans stranded abroad, and I hope that everything is being done to help them get home.
Do you think it was alright for Trump to try to leave the passengers of the cruise ship off of the coast of California so "they wouldn't count in our infected totals" (his words, not mine)?
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

FH, we've been conversing on these boards for a decade now, and I think this is the first time I've ever seen you put words in my mouth assuming what I think should've been done and then feigning fake outrage based on that assumption.FredHayek wrote: Wow. You are fine with abandoning Americans at sea? Refusing to let them go back home?
Sounds pretty heartless. The lack of early tests? That was a problem, CDC screwed up. This is government, it happens. But I think leaving Americans stranded at sea is just not something we do.

Sorry I misread your post. I have seen Florida politicians wanting to deny access to the infected ship and I just think that is wrong to abandon Americans at sea. Florida's health system is stressed but I think they can handle a few hundred more passengers.
And I agree with you. It was a bad idea to fly back the infected and non-infected on the same plane. This is new to people and lots of mistakes are being made. My wife was just at Kaiser the other day picking up a prescription and the people at the front door had thrown HIPPA out the window! They were demanding people say what disease they were there for in front of others.
