There were doing some superficial screening for COVID-19. Because there was a huge influx of people rushing back to the United States due to the bungled announcement of a travel ban and because federal authorities did not prepare resources for this, the result was a massive crunch that led to huge lines where people were packed like sardines. Because of this, the travel ban probably is going to be in retrospect a major vector of the disease spread.

Thanks. I think the same was/is true for Newark International Airport and JFK. What a freaking mangled mess of a damn up.

For sure. I think this is true more often than not.

Honestly I'm surprised it was the 31st patient. That's 29 more than I would have expected from mankind.

It occurs to me that I should have said why. It's simply because they are being asked about how they would handle the current crisis. Biden is talking about how to bring the full force of government resources into play in this, a declared national state of emergency.
And Bernie is peddling MFA when MFA has not a darn thing to do with how he'd handle THIS health crisis.

Of the two, Biden presented actions based on a realistic understanding of how government works. Bernie hit on his big issue and sound bites. Like Biden pointed out, universal healthcare didn't prevent the crisis in Italy. Good leadership, listening to the experts then making and executing a good, workable plan is what's needed and what a good President would do.
It continues to highlight my issues with Sanders being an ideologue leading a movement rather than being a viable candidate for the job of President of the United States.
It was unfortunate they couldn't use the debate to make a case for the Democratic candidate whomever it will be, though. That was a missed opportunity and Bernie seemed far too interested in trying to chip away at Biden than I expected. And Biden was less unifying than I had hoped he'd be as well.
