This may require an entire rethink and/or retraining for upper echelon personnel in the HHS and all supporting institutions. Harkens back to untrained and inexperienced volunteers and missionaries sent into the unknown and ending up in stew pots, or setting up entire villages for refugees in trailers that carry with them chemicals that arouse genetic disorders including cancer.

And having a proper plan of action in place means nothing if that plan is not practiced in times that it is not required and not properly implemented when it eventually is required. During my Infantry days I did a lot of hazmat training and I invaded a lot of beaches in Panama -- and fired a few thousand pounds of bullets at lifeless targets. Training and practice go hand in hand.

Things might have been done right if those in charge were the ones meeting and greeting the possibly-infected repatriation flights. Good thing they had some fodder to throw out in front of themselves. It's much easier to just send someone -- really anyone -- rather than to think and plan out the proper response.
