UNHEALTHY POLITICS?

President Trump and the administration’s Coronavirus task force were told that Americans who’d been in quarantine for weeks aboard the Diamond Princess would be brought home, but that patients who had symptoms or the infection itself would stay in Japan.  Trump was briefed on the decision and agreed that healthy passengers should not be on the plane with sick ones. Without telling the President, the State Department and a top U.S. health official then decided to bring back 14 Americans who had just tested positive for the virus and place them in isolation.  Everyone on that particular plane who had just been released from quarantine on the cruise ship was now potentially exposed to the deadly virus. 

That's bad enough but, it has subsequently been learned that the disease is now appearing in clusters that have no traceable connection to existing patients.  The whole world, including the United States, is now in imminent danger of being infested with a horrible and deadly pandemic.  

The government officials involved should be in jail.
