The State Department, in an emailed statement, said some private U.S. citizens will be able to board a “single flight” leaving Wuhan on Jan. 28 bound for San Francisco, requesting those interested to contact the U.S. embassy in Beijing with their personal information. Wuhan, a city of 11 million people in central China, is in virtual lockdown following a deadly outbreak of a new coronavirus that emerged there at the end of last year. Public transport, including airplanes and trains, have been suspended.

Hopefully they will be quarantined for 3 weeks when they reach the US.

Genius lol

Good idea, let's bring people who are possibly infected with the virus to the US. What could possibly go wrong?

Немного припоздало

I think we all realize the Chinese government is lying about the total numbers infected by the virus. The world community should be putting a complete travel blockade on all transport out of China.

You forgot to say, ‘and charging them for it’

Virus spreads out inside airplane 😱 like movie ' World war Z'
