"Wuhan flight marked local turning point in pandemic." I did not know. Did you?

On January 29, 2020 a plane carrying 195 Americans from the center of the Coronavirus outbreak in China landed at March Air Reserve Base.

Who knew how contagious it was way back then?

The plane was originally scheduled to land in Ontario but was rerouted to March.

So far 540,000 confirmed cases reported in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties and 4800 deaths.

Nationally so far 25.4 million cases and and 427,626 deaths.

Of course New York got it from folks flying in from Europe

One thing led to another and here we are. Every city has its own history and herstory!

    The people were all tested before being allowed to go home.

    It must have been international travel before anyone realised quite was happening, that first spread the infection so widely and so rapidly.

    Exactly right. What we don't know can and has and will kill us. By the time the scientists got a handle on it well it had already spread. Always rushing to play catchup and never quite being able to catch up. Thank you for your reply Durdle. What's going on in the U.K. now? Is it heading for better, worse or stablizing?
