All Travelers Headed To The U.S. Will Require Negative COVID-19 Test Result
According to a new report, the CDC will sign off on an order stating that anyone entering the United States from January 26, 2021 and beyond will need to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test result before boarding their flight. (www.gatechecked.com) Mehr...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I wonder if the Migrant Caravans coming up through Central America will be tested?
Unless the tests are administered at the cockpit door, this is completely useless. What do you think happens between the test and the airplane? 15 seconds after a test on average you touch your face, you are proximate to dozens of people before even arriving at the airport, and hundreds more inside the airport. A test result is only good at that moment in time within a certain area or environment. This poses WAY MORE economic hardship than good.
We must understand that perfection / 100% certainty is NOT the objective but mitigating risk to the highest degree possible is.
And yet the new administration is going to allow thousands and thousands of UNTESTED people across the southern border, to disperse all over the USA.

Just STAY the F*CK HOME! What part of death do you not understand?
No need for that kind of language here or the hyperbole... COVID isn't a death sentence like Ebola, particularly for the young and healthy.
Excuse me but your position is flawed as there were thousands of Ebola survivors. Same issue. pandemic and the need for self-discipline which is lacking in some countries (ex: India, USA, Brazil). Hmmm, which of those is the "leader of the free world?"
And there are tend of millions of COVID survivors. My point still stands that Ebola mortality is around 50% whereas COVID is a few percent, if that, so saying "What part of death don't you understand" is needless hyperbole. Bottom line is the choice isn't as simple as saving lives vs. not saving lives - putting millions of people out of work and isolating them socially has a human cost too.
As for your "leader of the free world" bit, look at deaths per capita rather than the total numbers - the U.K., Belgium, Italy, and several other European countries are worse off.

Let's continue the discussion when a family member or friend dies from COVID-19. But to your last point, , , such an opportunity lost due to ineptitude by the "house on the shining hill".
I'm not even sure what you're arguing now. The world locked down as much as possible in March and April, and COVID still returned. My initial point was just not to get caught up in hysteria and hyperbole, and you responded with more hysteria and hyperbole...
Just stay home. If you believe that "as much as possible has been shut down" how would you explain super-spreader events such as the NCAA football championship celebration in Tuscaloosa? Storming of the House in Washington? Why are so many discussions about the personal and business inconvenience caused by COVID-19 and not life or death? That is until a mother, father, child, or friend dies a horrible death from it? Anyway, as you may have initially mentioned, this is an aviation site, so let's agree to disagree about the subject.
