BREAKING: The U.S. Consulate in the epidemic-stricken Chinese city of Wuhan will evacuate its personnel and some private citizens aboard a charter flight Tuesday.

BEIJING — The U.S. Consulate in the epidemic-stricken Chinese city of Wuhan will evacuate its personnel and some private citizens aboard a charter flight Tuesday.

A notice Sunday from the embassy in Beijing said there would be limited capacity to transport U.S. citizens on the flight that will proceed directly to San Francisco. It said that in the event there are not enough seats, priority will be given to to individuals “at greater risk from coronavirus,” a new respiratory disease that has sickened 1,975 people and killed 56, almost all in Wuhan.

People really don't give a shit about anyone else other than themselves do they?

Why SFO...

Why are we treating this Coronavirus any different than SARs, Birdflu, Swineflu etc etc

Who cares, Kobe just died!

I’ll take “Which rich ambassador will weasel his way out of quarantine and infect all of DC before heading back to infect Iowa?” for 200, Alex

Shouldn’t they be under quarantine?

Too late I’m sure they are infected but trump wants to create a crisis here with disease and death so moronic Americans will vote for him again...truly evil and sad

Quarentine

Uh no. They come back to the states and get medical attention asap. Quarantine all of them. TF?

But your human rights watch Roth is bashing China for quarantine the city...

Money money money

KTLA Make sure they are checked thoroughly.

hughhewitt this movement of people from Wuhan to U.S. will spread it here, I would guess. Buy your masks.

So they mean priority will be given to the rich and better connected

They're already dead, keep that plane from reaching our soil by any means necessary.

Don't bring them back here please

KTLA Climate change hysteria distracts us from seeing greater and immediate threats like this coming.

I thought population control is what China wants? What's the issue, the virus is doing what the Gov't secretly wants. It's all PR to suddenly care that much about their people.

Thought the China shit down the city. Noone in or out.

Hope they go into Quarantine in nice facility here for a couple of weeks 😬

All citizens are private.

bfry1981 To quarantine ?

SenKamalaHarris will US Americans entering Isa be quarantined? SenFeinstein

Tuesday?

hope the factory workers cough all over the maga merch

in addition to pregnancy tests? but how will repubs execute their plan of forced birth of virus-deformed babies?

They better make sure those mofos don't bring that shit with them

Treat the virus like ebola highest safety standards possible

Planes. 🧐 make sure to check the hold for stowaways.

Why not earlier than Tues? Guess SecPompeo was too busy these last two days attacking a journalist and then issuing hissy fit edicts to pay attention to the safety of Americans there. Nice priorities Mike. ImpeachAndRemoveTrump

He needs to be quarantined also

This is turning into a Will Smith movie......

BegiiiGiles All flights from China should be suspended!

KTLA Send them to Washington D.C not California tf!

tmwinsett Why are they sending to San Fransisco?

Yeah get the hell out of their!!

You'd better make darn sure you're not bringing it back to the US with you.

Another unfortunate misuse of the word 'evacuate.'

What about Flora?

AMERICA FIRST. COME BACK HOME NOW.

Are they going to be quarantined?

FOX4 They are gonna bring that shit over here

Soooo, they’re bringing the virus to the States 😱😱😱 Idiots...quarantine them —THERE!!!! 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

Ohheyitsxsay 👀

Let's come back home - America now. Lost control Coronavirus.

JustinTrudeau Come and see.

Great

And bring them here?!

GavinNewsom any plans for a quarantine? sfchronicle

Ummmm, rrrrrrrr

cut and run!? whatever happened to no American left behind?!? looks like the other 1,000+ US citizens there are on their own, SMH

2000 people sick with a virus is not a lot of people. But almost 60 dead out of that many is a lot of people dead. Weird flu. You wouldn't normally see anybody evacuate for only 2,000 people sick.

billpostmus Do we need to fact check this story as well?

Please stay there! Can’t chance you people bringing any of that virus back into our country!

Welp it was fun y’all

Racist news agency

Quarantine them at Mar-A- Lago and send Trump, Pence, Barr, Pompeo, Mulvaney, Erick, Don Jr, Ivanka....... to give them a big ole' hug and lots of kisses

Quarantine them over there. It’s not our fault their goofy ass government was experimenting with creating bioweapons and one got loose.

OMG

Where is that charter flight going? They better not be coming to the US

Good luck! Get out safe

Great ... please bring more virus back here ...

Will they bring a souvenir? Something distinctively Wuhanish?

I’m telling you! It’s the start of the Zombie Apocalypse!

They fly in and make money from the Chinese like they can't get enough of it, their American Chamber of Commerce threatening the Chinese government to pull business out if they increased social security (I have seen this with my own eyes) and then fly out. Typical American biz.

What genius said: “ok, let evacuate these poor people 3 days from today, once this gets exponentially worse, and bring them to the US.“?

Don’t bring that crap back here!

Hope they apply full isolation protocols to these folks in the US...

hughhewitt How many consulates do we have in PRC?

KTLA Gonna get bad

Should have stayed selfish of them they might be contaminated

It’s way too late! It seems to be mutating; You have to leave “all” peoples in place, or this movement could cause more spread; the symptoms are not always elevated body temperature; if cities are on lockdown, then embassies and Ex-Patriots have to stay put;

Yikes.

Oh no!!

Coming to San Francisco, to blend right in.

This is how the movie starts, right?

Are they going to be quarantined in San Francisco?

Must keep tract of each to determine if they have been inoculated with this Wuhan Coronavirus Strain that might not exhibit symptoms or fever; in which this virus is incubating. That might not show symptoms up to one or two weeks and the human reservoirs will be carriers

Great idea

Really bad idea

And spread the virus outside of Wuhan? We need to hear what the quarantine arrangements are!

Give me a ticket for an aeroplane Don't have time to take a fast train My Wuhan baby just sent me a coronavirus.. - US Consulate in the epidemic-stricken Chinese city of Wuhan will evacuate personnel & some private citizens aboard a charter flight Tuesday

NOOOO KEEP THEM OVER THERE DON'T BRING EM HERE
