US military approves 11 coronavirus quarantine camps next to major US airports

I’m not an urban planner or crisis manager but putting quarantine camps next to major airports is probably not the smartest idea the
@realDonaldTrump administration has ever had.

Seriously?? and it isn't lost on me that they put the sites in Blue states, except for TX and GA.

1. None in Florida? That's a big state.

Texas needs a 2nd one near Houston.

2. I see the story is dated February 11. Maybe some sane person has

talked our virus czar down off that particular ledge.

3. Airports with the highest international traffic

And while quarantine centers near the airports seems counter-intuitive, it's probably a good way to keep potentially infected people as isolated as possible from the general population. You really want a car/van/bus full of possibly infected people rolling through the city streets of Chicago, LA or New York?

4. Sounds like the right place to do it.

5. Isn't that actually the best place?

These are all international airports, it makes more sense to put them there instead of transporting them to distant places.

6. Put them mostly in blue states

And hire minimum wage rent-a-cops for security

7. Exactly. As native Californian, I don't like it. They can do the initial triage at these these

facilities near the airports, but then some red states should be used for the 14-day/longer quarantine and treatment facilities. Why should blue states be the only places used. Let's have some parity.
