Coronavirus-infected Americans flown home against CDC’s advice Trump is really mad

But as the buses idled, U.S. officials wrestled with troubling news. New test results showed that 14 passengers were infected with the virus. The U.S. State Department had promised that no one with the infection would be allowed to board the planes.

In Washington, where it was still Sunday afternoon, a fierce debate broke out: The State Department and a top Trump administration health official wanted to forge ahead. The infected passengers had no symptoms and could be segregated on the plane in a plastic-lined enclosure. But officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention disagreed, contending they could still spread the virus. The CDC believed the 14 should not be flown back with uninfected passengers.

“Quite frankly, the alternative could have been pulling grandma out in the pouring rain, and that would have been bad, too.” The State Department won the argument. But unhappy CDC officials demanded to be left out of the news release that explained that infected people were being flown back to the United States — a move that would nearly double the number of known coronavirus cases in this country.

Can't say I wouldn't have done everything in my power to do the same. Get stuck in China and they find out you're infected? Straight to a quarantine/death camp.
If I am going to be quarantined, I'd rather it be on a US military base/facility where I have at least some hope that my American rights would be respected.

I’m not a red team or blue team guy but it pisses me off that the state department overruled the CDC and flew the infected back to the US.

Know how I know some of you didn't read the article:
Because this article is about people who were taken from the quarantined cruise ship in JAPAN.

Goofy story. It doesn't surprise me that the Trump State Department would overrule the doctors and scientists of the CDC, but in this case Trump and the CDC were on the same page (although for different reasons), and the State Department really screwed up.
While Trump doesn't want infected Americans to come back at all until they've recovered (because he thinks he knows best how to deal with a public health emergency), the CDC just objected to flying infected passengers on the same flight as uninfected passengers. They don't object to returning infected citizens to the US.

ANNISTON, Ala. (WBRC) - The Department of Health and Human Services announced on Saturday that the FEMA Center in Anniston will be used to quarantine some passengers from the Diamond Princess.
Passengers who tested positive, but do not have symptoms, will be quarantined at the FEMA Center for Domestic Preparedness in Anniston, Alabama. If an evacuee becomes seriously ill, they will be transported to predetermined hospital.
Passengers will be kept in a separate area than the training facility.
Here is the full statement:
HHS is taking precautions to protect the health of all Americans from Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). To that end, HHS and FEMA agreed to use a federal facility, the FEMA Center for Domestic Preparedness in Anniston, Alabama, as a place for some of the American passengers from the Diamond Princess to stay. These are passengers whom the federal government evacuated back to the U.S. from the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan.
The passengers who will stay at the Center tested positive for COVID-19, although at this time they either do not have symptoms or have mild flu-like symptoms. Any of the evacuees who become seriously ill will be transported to pre-identified hospitals for medical care. Under the HHS-FEMA agreement, the Center for Domestic Preparedness will provide the housing, and HHS will provide basic medical care and all other support services for these returning passengers. Passengers will stay in a separate area from the Center’s training participants and will remain at the Center until they are medically cleared.
The Center has unique facilities and routinely offers week-long, hands-on training for large groups of professionals from federal, state and local emergency management agencies, hospitals, public health agencies, and law enforcement agencies on disaster response.

They were in a biocontainment thing. I'm not worried I'll survive and the state department will demand to use my strong genetics to repopulate America. I'll make sure it only gets done the old fashioned way.

Lol, it’s amusing how so many leftist attackers have the ability to read trumps mind to support their critiques.
