Stuff going south

I found out this morning that they routed Tom's plane to Ontario but he got stuck in quarantine. I've tried his phone but haven't gotten an answer.

The CDC has had the state activate the National Guard who have now set a perimeter around the major airports. On the way to work today the 405 was closed where it passes John Wayne airport and it took me like an hour to drive a mile.

The CDC's official stance is this is a Catagory A agent that came in on a flight from Central America. There hasn't been a lot of extra information but the fact that the quarantine perimeter is growing is disconcerting. I looked it up, the last time large scale quarantine was set up like this was during the Spanish Flu in 1918.

In addition there are now reports that are coming in from the London and Paris of similar situations.


The no flight thing is still going too, and it is kinda crazy living near John Wayne airport without seeing any flights.

Hopefully we'll find out more tomorrow... this is freaky though with the airports closed like this.
