context: That should be standard just as a general public health measure to know what is flowing into the country and not just for covid >
  
  Yeah, it would be a pretty easy way to test for lots of different things at once >
  
  Oh, that's actually a pretty good metric. We should also be testing city wastewater >
  
  Many places do.  You may have seen it discussed recently around the polio cases in NYC and London (iirc on locations).
  It's a really good way to get an overview of what is circulating in the population, without needing personal identifiers or individual collectons, and gives a bit of advance indication, since many diseases begin to show up in wastewater before they appear in drs offices etc where they are documented. >
  
  Why not just stop flights from China? >
  
  We need to get Southwest on this Pronto! >
  
  That is most certainly NOT going to provide us with the reaction time we need! >
  
  So don’t do it? >
  
  Like damn near any other human decision of consequence, don't stop there! >
  
  I don’t think they plan on it? Go let them know. >
  
  I feel like the US is going to get hit again.
  I was quadvaxed. Never had covid before, and got it for the first time a few days ago >
  
  I’m double vaxxed and boosted, I’ve caught covid 3 times since May of this year. Fucking ridiculous. I’m not taking active precautions but I also don’t spend a ton of time in big gatherings either. >
  
  Tbh I didn't bother getting boosted cause ill still catch it either way >
  
  Keep in mind vaccinations are not just to prevent an infection, but also to lessen the infection should you get it.
  The overwhelming majority of hospitalizations is unvaccinated people. >
  
  Just have them all book via Southwest.
  Tired joke aside, hey, it works for polio. Notably. >
  
  So was Trump right how to handle covid and China? Im confused. This would be deemed racist 2 years ago. >
  
  It was racist because Corona virus was already spreading in from Europe in New York.
  That and Corona virus does not make exceptions based on citizenship or nationality. Unlike Trump's partial ban on some, but not all, Chinese flyers. >
  
  Uhhhh, does anyone else think people will get around this by not using the bathrooms/bagging up and throwing out/bringing waste off the plane to avoid detection? >
  
  You think there's gonna be a coordinated effort between all infected passengers? >
  
  Maybe not all, but wouldn't it just be effective to test before and after flying? >
  
  Who says we have no good jobs? >
  
  Quite crafty really...
  They could install Covid testers in airplane toilets, and if someone tests positive, shhtup... They get jettisoned like a James Bond movie. 
  I mean, people have to pee, how better to test them than without their knowledge?
  This could really take off.
