Default K4 Hanta Virus Evac?

Are you guys using your unique capability to repatriate Americans after another deadly virus outbreak? Well done if so. 👏🏻 I believe Kalitta helped with Ebola and early Covid?

They called for volunteers to crew it last week and looks like it's just airborne now ... https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/N767CK

Is this sarcasm?

Who on earth thinks its a good idea to bring a plane full of infected people halfway across the world?

Who paid for it?

We did. Uncle Sam thanks you for your tax dollars

honestly this is probably for the best, at least they do some contact tracing rather than people finding their own way home.

What was your plan? Sink them with naval gunfire while still in international waters? Because they MAY have been exposed to a particularly easy to spread strain of Hantavirus. They are being transported in and held in quarantine until the eight week incubation period is up. If Wuhan had taken that sort of precautions COVID would have never escaped the lab.

If you were deathly ill somewhere across the world wouldn’t you want to be transported home and receive the best care possible?

I’m guessing the evac briefing is a bit different than a normal pax flight.
