die nicht-infizierten Amerikaner auf dem Kreuzfahrtschiff "Diamond Princess" nach USA bringen zu wollen, wo sie nochmals zwei Wochen in Quarantäne kommen sollten, hatte ich hier im Forum sarkastisch geschrieben, dass Trump das Virus nun nach Kalifornien holen wollte.
Das scheint aber tatsächlich so passiert zu sein (siehe unten). Ich war schon erstaunt, dass 14 Personen trotz positiver Tests an Bord der beiden Flieger gelassen wurden, denn das war ursprünglich nicht so vorgesehen.
Nun hat ein Whistleblower angezeigt, dass das Personal in den beiden Luftwaffen-Basen, wo die Infizierten ihre Quarantänezeit verbringen sollten, überhaupt nicht geschult war. Das Personal ging ohne Masken, Schutz und vorherige Schulung ständig in diesen Lagern ein und aus. Einer wohnte in einem Hotel in der Nähe und ist später auch mit einem Linienflug geflogen. Dabei ist das Virus offenbar in die kalifornische Öffentlichkeit gelangt.
Über den Whisteblower berichtete auch die New York Times (unten kursiv).

A complaint filed with Health and Human Services (HHS) and promptly leaked to the New York Times alleges that federal health employees interacted with Americans quarantined for possible coronavirus exposure without proper medical training or protective gear, and that health agency leaders engaged in a 'corrupt cover-up' when staff members complained, according to the Times.
Filed with the Office of the Special Counsel, a whistleblower described as a 'senior leader' at HHS said the team was "improperly deployed" to two California military bases to assist with processing American evacuees from coronavirus hot zones in China and elsewhere.
NYT:
The staff members were sent to Travis Air Force Base and March Air Reserve Base and were ordered to enter quarantined areas, including a hangar where coronavirus evacuees were being received. They were not provided training in safety protocols until five days later, the person said.
Without proper training or equipment, some of the exposed staff members moved freely around and off the bases, with at least one person staying in a nearby hotel and leaving California on a commercial flight. Many were unaware of the need to test their temperature three times a day.
The Times notes that the complaint comes right after President Trump began to downplay the risks of coronavirus on US soil "amid bipartisan concern about a sluggish and disjointed response by the administration to an illness that public health officials have said is likely to spread through the United States."
