South Korea says flight attendant infected with virus worked Los Angeles route

The flight attendant worked on Korean Air's flight KE017 from Seoul's Incheon airport to Los Angeles on Feb. 19, and on the return flight KE012 on Feb. 20, Yonhap news agency and other media reported. A South Korean official familiar with the case verified those flight details, adding that between flights the woman had stayed in Los Angeles overnight.

"She took a flight after showing symptoms, and we are investigating people who had contact with the employee on the flight," the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said in a statement on Thursday.

The flight attendant, described as being in her 20s, later tested positive for the virus, and she is currently in hospital.

The crewmember had been on a Korean Air KE958 flight from Israel to Incheon on Feb. 15-16, the KCDC said. The passengers on that flight included a South Korean religious group that 31 coronavirus cases have been traced to.

1. I'd say containment hopes are being dashed completely this week.

And this is the one we are hearing about. How many others aboard that plane, and others, were infected. Since S. Korea is exploding with cases, why are we even allowing such flights in at this point?

2. Trump doesn't want massive testing

that way he can claim that deaths are from the regular flu. Trump does what he thinks helps Trump. It's Trump's enablers like Barr and the Congress who should know better but go along anyway to stay in power.
