I’m hearing from #LAX passengers getting off of int’l flights that they’re not being screened for #coronavirus.
Some are surprised, others irritated like 70 yo Edgar Ocampo of Santa Barbara who just got back from the Philippines.
He says this disease know no boundaries.
Kylie West just flew back from a few days in Tokyo to catch her favorite electronica musician.
She said there’s a marked contrast between how seriously the Japanese are treating #coronavirus versus Americans
Grace General flew into LAX from Manila. She had a 7-hour layover in S. Korea where she was grilled on symptoms and whether she’s been to countries with #coronavirus outbreaks.
At #LAX, nothing.
Rod Svendsen just got back from Bora Bora where he was swabbed and had his temperature taken upon arrival there...10 days ago.
No medical screening today at LAX arrivals: “I guess the government knows better than we do.”

UPDATE for those following this thread. Travelers coming from Europe say they are getting screened, per new requirements.
