Re:San Jose: Three TSA agents test positive for Covid-19 by hcknwscommenter on Wednesday March 11, 2020 @03:22AM (#22543806)
Quarantining incoming travelers from high-risk destinations will likely help, but will NOT achieve the same thing. COVID-19 is already here and circulating in the community. It has been for weeks. We just aren't testing for it (this will change in days or maybe a week, so wait for the big explosion in cases). Two weeks ago, there was capacity to administer and process 700 tests. Not 700 per day. 700 total. It has improved a little since then. But it is only now that actual significant testing capacity is being brought on board. Something S. Korea has had for about a month. We are way way behind.

If by community you mean the US as a whole, yes. But there are many areas and smaller cities in which it has not arrived. Those could be helped. And if a smaller city is infected and then gets clean, they could be helped too. That's what I was referring to. Stopping domestic flights.
