Covid-19 And Connecting Flights
BY Herschel Smith
4 years, 8 months ago
Two different readers have now confirmed to me that they know of connecting flights in America where foreign nationals were allowed to connect in America with final destinations outside of America.
Let that sink in. That means the protocols in place for foreign nationals entering the U.S., or outright prohibitions thereto, aren’t in place for connecting flights.
Foreign nationals could be traipsing through airports on their way from one flight to another, and there is absolutely no control or protocol to monitor that or ensure the health and safety of the public.
It’s almost as if the American controllers aren’t taking this seriously. It’s almost as if the combination of the FedGov and media has caused a panic to overcrowd medical care facilities and over-stress the staff, with little to no planning or foresight, with inadequate hospital beds, medical staff, training, equipment or protocols.
It’s almost as if the only real winners in all of this when it’s all said and done will be big Pharma and some corporations.
If I didn’t know better.
Readers feel free to drop URLs to news reports, studies and analyses of Covid-19 in comments. This is a rare time I ask for this.

Herschel – my daughter was in Rome for the semester until her campus was evacuated last week. Her connecting flight was through JFK. She told me that when she got off the plane at JFK (direct from Rome), there was exactly zero screening of the deplaning passengers for anything prior to walking to passport control.

The .gov may be taking covid19 seriously, its just that bureaucrats and politicians are f**king stupid.
