IT MAY SEEM CRUEL, BUT THOSE 14 CORONAVIRUS SUFFERERS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED BACK IN THE US UNTIL COMPLETELY CURED

Trump was 'furious' that 14 Americans infected with coronavirus boarded a plane back to the US from Japan, which officials admit was a 'big mistake'

Trump had been told last Saturday that only evacuees who didn't have symptoms or positive test results would be allowed on State Department charter planes back to the US from Japan.

Officials on the ground realized late in the evacuation process, on the airport tarmac in Tokyo, that 14 of the roughly 350 evacuees had tested positive.

State Department underlings made the quick decision to allow the infected citizens onto the flights, but separated from the other passengers withing bio-containment units.

That was dumb.

Public health by its nature should be sort of harsh, heartless and scary. The protection of the herd is the object, not the ease of the few.
