Blue City/State

Posted Tuesday, May 19, 2020, at 4:21 PM

Around 9 o'clock this morning a nonstop flight from Delhi, India arrived in New York City. Delhi is a Covid-19 hotspot. Several hundred passengers on this flight deplaned and went through no checks what so ever.

What more proof do you need to indicate that blue cities and blue states care not about people's health? They will willingly cause the death of 10s of thousands of people just to delay the ending of the pandemic so they can blame Trump and hope to gain power for themselves.

What more proof does one need to support this conclusion than allowing 400+potential positive people to spread out unchecked throughout the Country?

This info is from an unimpeachable source who was on the flight. Dispicable!

That is surprising considering what we are experiencing. I understood India to be experiencing a major spike in cases.

Steve, Delhi is a recognized international"hotspot" re the pandemic. I agree but I had a friend on the flight. Makes you wonder what the leaders of New York and New York City have as an agenda.

This might or might not seem important, Carl; but neither New York City nor New York State have the authority to do anything about deplaning passengers. Airport Security is the sole bailiwick of the TSA. The chain of command would lead to Donald Trump. If you feel the lax procedures indicate some hidden agenda....

I don't really see a conspiracy here. I would attribute the disregard for common sense to pervasive incompetence.

However, there is a certain irony to your fear of people coming from India. I have been working on a business project with a colleague in India for the past month. We both miss some sleep because our days don't overlap very well. He could come here, but he is not about to leave India to come to the US. He feels ten times safer there. India has an aggressive program of targeted testing, contact tracing, and enforced quarantine. Despite the unimaginable population density,the massive slums, a months earlier onset, and 3 times our population, India was showing less than 4,000 deaths up thru may 20. Undoubtedly this is way understated, as it is in every country (particularly the US where our new strategy seems to be to try and cover up the cost of our inept response). The world watches in a sort of horrified fascination as what was formerly a shining example and the world's leader blunders along with catastrophic incompetence and a response barely worthy of a third world country. It is travelers from the US that no one wants to see.
