All that were flown were from the cruiseship, so ALL had been exposed. The ones that tested positive were in the quarantine box on the plane. The other solution would have been to leave them in Japan, which is quickly getting very overwhelmed w/ COVID-19 cases and will soon be in the same plight as China, too many sick people and not enough medical staff/supplies to care for them. All of the people evac-ed on the plane went to a quarantine center on a military base in the US, something that this article conveniently seems to leave out. I'm more concerned about situations like the idiot acquaintances of mine from Utah who are blithely touring around Singapore and Thailand, poo-pooing the idea of wearing masks. So if you see 2 cases of COVID-19 popping up in Utah in a few weeks, that's why.
