O’Hare is a COVID-19 incubator right now [W:454]

[Threegoofs]

As we speak, the administrations travel ban on Europe has made thousands of Americans come home with little notice.

They are being screened for COVID, presumably with interviews and temperature testing.

But to get thru the screening, these people from these (supposedly) horrible, highly infested countries are being CRAMMED into the international terminal and made to stand in line for 4-6 hours to get screened.

It’s like an incubator for COVID!!!

Pass it to your closest 20 friends in line, and then get told to self quarantine for 14 days.


Here is Terminal 5 right now:

Great planning, Stephen and Jared.

Your solution?

Re: O’Hare is a COVID-19 incubator right now

Your solution?

Have a competent administration next time, because with these guys we are ****ed.

 

[DiAnna]

Re: O’Hare is a COVID-19 incubator right now

Your solution?

My solution would have begun in January, and start by ordering as many COVID-19 test kits as the WHO could send us... then using the damned things on each pocket of exposure so we had an accurate record of how many actual cases of COVID-19 positive cases we had, and how many pneumatic deaths during that time were from the coronavirus, and not included in the current totals.

I think the testing started only tonight. Airport authority should have been more prepared.

I'm sure they were blind sided like everyone else. What a leader we have.

Yikes. My wife got in and out of O'Hare just in time.

Re: O’Hare is a COVID-19 incubator right now

Yikes. My wife got in and out of O'Hare just in time.

I have a global contingent from a major automotive manufacturer due to arrive for a first-off build event in Western Missouri late in April. I suspect that's about to be cancelled. At the end of March, we will have a small army of American suppliers converging on the site to begin setting things in motion. So far, that event is still on schedule. This week, we sent roughly a dozen of our people out there to install the equipment needed for those days.

Cancelling would make sense. But, delaying the launch of a vehicle has major repercussions for the economy. One fear we have is those plants laying off thousands of workers. However, I see that perhaps being the least of all evils right now.

Re: O’Hare is a COVID-19 incubator right now

I would just like to make it clear that during Sars, Mers and Ebola, we didn't see a fraction of the chaos under Obama and Bush that we're seeing now. Those outbreaks didn't cause the stock market to whipsaw up and down by thousands of points in a single day, there was no toilet paper and hand sanitizer hoarding, supermarkets weren't being emptied out, and we didn't come to inherently distrust the CDC.

Trump didn't create the virus, but the chaos is 100% his.

LOL.

Trump: "No, I don't take responsibility at all."

You mean TSA.

The federal government.

The ones who thought up the plan.

The ones that announced it Wed night (WITHOUT INFORMING EUROPEAN LEADERS!).

The ones who couldn’t even announce it properly in a prepared speech.

I agree.

That’s Terminal 5 - international arrivals. It’s a distance from the main airport.

Ah, right. Still, that's a horribly stressful thing for travelers to have to deal with. I ****ing hate re-entering the country. Whenever I see that JFK is where I'll be coming in, I want to put a bullet in my head, and that's without a panic-inducing vial outbreak to contend with.

Re: O’Hare is a COVID-19 incubator right now

Here’s O’Hare from a different perspective.

The opposite of ‘social distancing’.


Did NO ONE think of the consequences and manpower needs in this administration when they thought this was a good idea?

Seriously. This is literally the exact thing one would do if they wanted to accelerate viral spread.

YOu also didn't see Pelosi, Schumer and Schiff doing daily presser's to criticize every step of the way either. I'm also pretty sure the Obama response time was not very good. What were those numbers?

 

[Chomsky]

Re: O’Hare is a COVID-19 incubator right now

Your solution?

Don't disband the goddamn pandemic research team, next time! :doh

We're totally fugged. You realize we're past containment, right? It's too late, the testing that could allow containment was a gross failure. There's only one hope, now that we're past containment - social isolation. Just like Europe. Just like china. Otherwise, we overload the healthcare system and the fatality rate skyrockets. Mark my words, next week will very likely be the last half-way normal week in America for a long time. It's not going to get better until we isolate. It's to late to test to contain. There's no other choice.

Doesn't look much different than just about every grocery store across this country this weekend. The difference is these people will eventually return and be told to quarantine. Those masses at the grocery stores this weekend will not be quarantined.

My advice: Do not go by the airport, nearby hotels, restaurants, Casino, or the Mall. Bye, bye, Rosemont!

And don't even think of a Lyft or Uber ...

You obviously saw "Obama" and stopped reading.

Which I believe would have fallen under the purview of the disbanded Pandemic Response Team ...
