Delta, American, United to suspend all China mainland flights as coronavirus crisis grows
Delta, American and United will announced they will temporarily cancel all of their mainland China flights in response to the coronavirus outbreak, facing pressure from unions representing airline employees and new warnings from public health officials. (www.usatoday.com) Más...I know that most of our U.S. carriers have suspended or cut their service to mainland China due to this, but WHY are the Chinese carriers still operating flights as normal, from mainland China to the U.S. Even non-stop flights directly from Wuhan to the U.S. are still operating no problem...
Does the U.S. not see this as a concern, given the Virus that has spread to every part of the country.
Am I missing something here? Can the U.S. not stop those flights?

First of all, the virus hasn’t spread to “every part of the country” – yet.
And though admittedly not the same thing, the U.S. is denying entry to foreign nationals who recently visited China:

The Coronavirus has indeed spread to Every Region In China... FYI.
My question is - we're still allowing dozens of flights per week from mainland china to the U.S. (including direct flights from Wuhan to SFO... and many other mainland China flights directly to the U.S.
Again - my question is - with the incredible spread of this virus, why are we (the FAA, whoever else) allowing these flights to continue with such regularity??
A couple of weeks ago, there were less than 100 confirmed cases, now there are over 18,000 in mainland china.... and even more concerning, Medical professionals have confirmed that it can now be spread person to person, from someone who isn't even showing symptoms..
So... person on the Wuhan to SFO non-stop could have it, but not show it, and now they would have the potential to further spread the virus....

Sorry, I thought you meant every part of the US...
Ah, gotcha! No, China is what I intended.
I'm all for inter-country flights and I'm sure they are of great importance for MANY, MANY reasons (government travel, tourism, business, etc..etc...), but Maybe, just maybe, we should be suspending the China to U.S. flights, until this is settled...
ESPECIALLY from Wuhan... non-stop to SFO?! No no .... this shouldn't continue
