COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

No way I know of for them to get food. They are required to arrange food before they come I guess. Its really just meant to deter people. I don't like that they paid their airfare either. I would just as soon as have them sit in a quarantine camp for 2 weeks at their own expense. We already had a quarantine center set up at Tripler airforce base so I don't know why they decided the taxpayers should get the bill to send them home.

The government can send them a bill just like the IRS does when you don't pay them. It's fairly easy and it's cheaper to ship them out than to quarantine them.
