You can tell the government and the CDC wants to shut the airlines down temporarily, but they know it would be a financial disaster. .It would basically shut the whole country down. I think if flight attendants or pilots start getting the virus they will pull the plug.I did hear some Delta flight attendants are beginning to test positive but I don't know it for a fact.

Who did you hear this from? Or is this the same 4th floor guy who provides all the other rumors on APC?
Unless you have a reliable source, can we avoid speculation?

There's too many of us for there to be zero point zero. That's just dumb.

One step closer to international shutdown

"Global Level 3 Health Advisory - Reconsider Travel
The Department of State advises U.S. citizens to reconsider travel abroad due to the global impact of COVID-19. Many areas throughout the world are now experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks and taking action that may limit traveler mobility, including quarantines and border restrictions.Even countries, jurisdictions, or areas where cases have not been reported may restrict travel without notice.
For the latest information regarding COVID-19, please visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) website.
You are encouraged to visit travel.state.gov to view individual Travel Advisories for the most urgent threats to safety and security.Please also visit the website of the relevant U.S. embassy or consulate to see information on entry restrictions, foreign quarantine policies, and urgent health information provided by local governments.
Travelers are urged to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive Alerts and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.The Department uses these Alerts to convey information about terrorist threats, security incidents, planned demonstrations, natural disasters, etc.In an emergency, please contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate or call the following numbers: 1(888) 407-4747 (toll-free in the United States and Canada) or 1 (202) 501-4444 from other countries or jurisdictions.
If you decide to travel abroad:
Review and follow the CDC's guidelines for the prevention of coronavirus.
Check with your airlines or cruise lines regarding any updated information about your travel plans and/or restrictions.
Visit travel.state.gov to view individual Travel Advisories for the most urgent threats to safety and security.
Visit our Embassy webpages on COVID-19 for information on conditions in each country or jurisdiction.
Visit the Department of Homeland Security's website on the latest travel restrictions to the U.S. "
EDITED: I'll leave this up as the email is real, however travel.state.gov doesn't match the information in their STEP email, so something here is out of "step." Regardless, it is a legitimate risk and logical step prior to shutting down domestic travel.
