International Travelers Arriving At NYC Airports Concerned By Lack Of Screenings

[mia]

With the coronavirus outbreak affecting at least 40 countries, many travelers are concerned about what’s being done to contain the virus.

At JFK Airport, jetlagged passengers typically in a rush to clear immigration are now appalled by a lack of screening, especially compared to procedures in the countries they just left.

Emily Ferrara and Blair Haworth just returned from Florence, Italy, where their study abroad program was canceled because of the virus. There are more than 300 cases there, one of the largest outbreaks outside China....

“We didn’t even get checked. Like we’re used to being in Florence where you get your temperature checked. Here they didn’t do anything, which is kind of crazy,” Ferrara said. “Considering, like, how much the cases have spread so fast, like, they should definitely be taking more precautions here.”

1. i've traveled through so many international airports over the years

It is ABSOLUTELY nuts that the US airports don't have the temperature checking stations. While Trump cancelled the US- China flights, what about US-South Korea, US-Italy, US-Etc. flights.

Starting from Pence and Trump down, the US is third-rate. I have no trust in anything these people do, but this is different: they are doing NOTHING.

Meanwhile, Trump is giving another hate rally.
