Grip whatever you like. What I have a real problem with is that arrogant people at CDC allowed a known infected person into the US pretty much without so much as a by-your-leave.
Whereas under normal procedures, if a person suspected of carrying a disease is found at a US port of entry... They would be placed in isolation and under observation at a nearby properly equipped facility per 42 Code of Federal Regulations parts 70 and 71. This is not unlike what has happened.
Under normal conditions, the CDC can advise for or against transporting a US citizen patient. They can place persons carrying diseases on a Do Not Board list for commercial air carriers. They can't ban medevac flights. They can enforce quarantine at US ports of entry.
You may wish to address this matter to your Congressman. I suspect that a constitutional amendment may be needed.
