"content": "\u003cp>In an election year where Democrats are almost singularly focused on beating President Trump, a couple of policy issues have still emerged as incredibly divisive among left-leaning voters: proposals for government to pay for health care, college and student loans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a divide that’s been playing out around kitchen tables and on the campaign trail as the programs’ biggest champion, Sen. Bernie Sanders, surges ahead of most of his primary opponents — and his closest rival, former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, goes on the attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In this election season, we have been told by some that you must either be for a revolution or you are for the status quo. But where does that leave the rest of us? Most Americans don’t see where they fit in that polarized vision,” Buttigieg told supporters Tuesday night in New Hampshire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 38-year-old candidate has positioned himself as a center-left candidate who supports giving Medicare “for all who want it,” and free college to kids in families making under $100,000 a year — but not everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Buttigieg isn’t alone in feeling skeptical about these types of proposals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether it’s expanding Medicare to all Americans (whether they want it or not), making public college tuition free or providing student loan forgiveness, polls show that Democratic voters are split on these issues (though Republicans are more squarely opposed to them).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Divide Among Liberals\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A poll commissioned in January for KQED News by Change Research found that broadly, California Democrats like free college, loan forgiveness and Medicare for All as ideas — their favorability ratings among Democrats are above 70%. And, a stunning 92% of Democrats in that poll said they support Medicare For All.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But things get a little squishier when you ask independents — who \u003ca href=\"https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/ror/60day-presprim-2020/historical-reg-stats.pdf\">make up more than one-quarter of the California electorate\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Change Research poll found independents more conflicted over Medicare for All, supporting it by 57% to 40%. And other polls, like the Public Policy Institute of California survey that asked more detailed questions, show some more nuance among Democrats and significant differences among different demographic groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a November survey, 42% of Democrats polled told PPIC that they support single-payer insurance like Medicare for All — but 36% said they prefer a mix of private and government insurance, which is what more centrist candidates like former Vice President Joe Biden and Buttigieg are pushing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the broader electorate, self-identified liberals are the most likely (47%) to support single-payer insurance, compared to 18% of moderates and 8% of conservatives. Single payer was also much more popular with 18-44 year olds (40% support); while half of people over 45 said they don’t believe it’s the responsibility of the federal government to provide health care at all — even though people over 65 get Medicare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latinos, renters and people who make less than $40,000 a year were all more likely to support single payer than other groups as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what gives?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Political Ideology Isn’t Pure\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The first thing to understand, said Stanford University’s Jon Krosnick, who studies political attitudes, is that almost no one is consistently liberal or conservative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Almost everybody is a mix of liberal and conservative,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Krosnick said, most voters pick a party based on a single issue, or even a handful of policy areas they are passionate about. So just because two people are Democrats, or consider themselves liberal, they may have come to that position for very different reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Irvine professor Peter Ditto agrees. He studies partisan political bias — how political ideology biases our political judgments and behavior. Ditto said that while most Americans identify with a political philosophy or party, they really “have a hodgepodge of beliefs and attitudes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(People) identify with groups or tribes — so when they’re saying ‘I’m a liberal’ or ‘I’m a conservative,’ ‘I’m a Democrat or a Republican,’ they’re saying something about the kind of people that they go along with,” Ditto said. “And sometimes when they buy into that, they have to kind of shape their attitudes to fit those things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So while a large percentage of voters identify as liberal, or Democrat, that doesn’t mean they all agree with the idea of “free” programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Ian Haney López, UC Berkeley law professor\"]‘Why did so many Americans in a landslide support Johnson [and his promises to eradicate poverty] in ’64? And yet things that are far less ambitious seem radical in 2020? … I think more than anything else, the answer is race.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And liberals and conservatives have different ideas of what is fair, Ditto said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Liberals tend to emphasize equality — people should all be treated the same. And very often conservatives, when they think about fairness, think more about their equity or proportionality,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for a liberal, Ditto said, classic unfairness “might be discriminating against somebody based on the color of their skin,” while “conservatives may think more about, ‘freeloaders,’ like welfare, people who get money from the government not given anything back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that gets us to another theory: That all of this division is actually driven by racial bias.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Rise of Dog Whistle Politics\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>That’s the argument made by two admittedly liberal researchers: political messaging expert Anat Shenker-Osorio and UC Berkeley Law Professor Ian Haney López.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Shenker-Osorio and Haney López contend that opposition to government programs like Medicare for All or free college are rooted in 50 years of a racial narrative first promulgated by Republicans but also embraced at times by Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney López notes that five decades ago, public colleges were largely free in California — and that Democratic President Lyndon Johnson overwhelmingly won a reelection victory in 1964 promising to eradicate poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People then widely supported the idea that government had not just the ability, but the duty to intervene in the economy in ways that redistributed the wealth downwards, that created routes of upward mobility,” Haney López said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that today’s proposals “are small fry in comparison to what Johnson was proposing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So the real question is why did so many Americans in a landslide support Johnson in ’64? And yet things that are far less ambitious seem radical in 2020? And what’s the answer? I think more than anything else, the answer is race,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11801731\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11801731\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/Barry-Goldwater-800x622.jpg\" alt=\"Presidential hopeful Barry Goldwater (right) with his running mate William Miller in 1964. \" width=\"800\" height=\"622\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/Barry-Goldwater-800x622.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/Barry-Goldwater-160x124.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/Barry-Goldwater-1020x793.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/Barry-Goldwater.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Presidential hopeful Barry Goldwater (right) with his running mate William Miller in 1964. \u003ccite>(AFP/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Haney López argued that Johnson’s opponent, Republican Barry Goldwater, led a new faction of the GOP that “came to understand that they could use rising racial resentment as a way to break the Democratic coalition of African Americans, the white working class and liberals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldwater didn’t do this by aligning with white supremacists or attacking the civil rights movement or people of color, Haney López said: He did it using coded language, like “states rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It became a way to mobilize racial resentment, but even more. It provided him a way to demonize government itself,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What he ended up saying was, ‘Look, government programs that supposedly help everyone — they’re actually giveaways to undeserving minorities.’ Now, Goldwater would lose big. But over the next 12 years, in part through the campaign of Richard Nixon, this sort of politics would become very, very powerful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney López said the master of this was President Ronald Reagan, who beat Democrat Pat Brown in the 1966 California governor’s race, then went on to campaign for president a decade later with his “welfare queen” narrative, which relied on the idea that hard-working white people were having their money taken by government and given to lazy minorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11788381 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/IMG_3798-1020x765.jpg']Of course, Democrats, led by Bill Clinton, would also embrace a similar strategy in the 1990s with the war on crime and illegal immigration, Haney López said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, Shenker-Osorio also sees proof of this in the language used to promote the 1978 anti-tax measure Proposition 13, which she said relied on an “us versus them” narrative that demonized Mexican immigrants and started the tax revolt across the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shenker-Osorio, who does empirical research on political messaging, said some of this is probably embedded in our DNA as both Americans and, to a greater extent, Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The puritan work ethic, the idea that people should have to endure and suffer, that it’s character building … and that people who don’t pay are getting away with something,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s more at play, she argued, noting that the countries with the most generous social welfare policies tend to also be the most homogeneous racially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People would accept and vote for increase in whatever public program we are talking about if it did not apply to people outside their race,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she and Haney López say that these messages have become so embedded in our collective consciousness that it isn’t just white people who hold these views.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s be a little more sophisticated about how we understand race,” Haney López said. “This rhetoric affects people of all different races … The story we’re being offered by the right is, ‘The reason some people are rich is because they work hard … And the reason so many are poor is because there’s something wrong with them. They didn’t work hard or they’re lazy or they’re cheaters or they have an entitlement mentality.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That doesn’t mean, said Haney López, that Americans can’t have a legitimate debate about what programs we should offer, or even who should qualify for them. But, he said, those having the conversation should take into account what deeply embedded biases might be informing their viewpoint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Election 2020' tag='election2020']He pointed to anger over the idea of making college free for future generations — the divide was perhaps best exemplified at a recent Elizabeth Warren event in Iowa, where \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/JiveBunnyMuzik/status/1219698105622368257?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1219698105622368257&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fpolitics%2Fwarren-confronted-iowa-dad?ftag=YHF4eb9d17\">a man confronted the Massachusetts senator\u003c/a>, asking why she wants to pay for college for people who didn’t save their money while people like him, who did save, “are getting screwed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney López said that conversation is “undergirded by a view of demographic change. It’s a view that rests on a statement like, why should I pay for other people’s children? Well, why are they other people’s children? Why aren’t they our children? Why isn’t there a collective sense that as Americans, we’re all in this together?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, even people who like the idea of a single-payer health care system may be grappling with another hurdle, said Shenker-Osorio — their personal experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are incredibly risk averse, and their lived experience is health care only getting worse,” she said. “We know the current system is bad, but we have absolutely no lived experience that change can make it better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peter Ditto, the UC Irvine professor, said showing people that something new works is the easiest way to change their minds — he pointed to how relatively quickly gay marriage has become more broadly acceptable over the past decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, it’s not easy to convince people of a collective good, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The natural state of people is to break up into groups and dislike each other — that’s human history. You know, the American government is pushing against the grain of a million years of human evolution and try to say, yeah, you should get along with people who disagree with you,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s easier to try to drive people apart — a strategy that President Trump has embraced to devastating effect, Ditto said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And countering that, no matter which flavor of candidate voters choose, might be the biggest challenge facing Democrats this election year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

It provided him a way to demonize government itself,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What he ended up saying was, ‘Look, government programs that supposedly help everyone — they’re actually giveaways to undeserving minorities.’ Now, Goldwater would lose big.

They didn’t work hard or they’re lazy or they’re cheaters or they have an entitlement mentality.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That doesn’t mean, said Haney López, that Americans can’t have a legitimate debate about what programs we should offer, or even who should qualify for them. But, he said, those having the conversation should take into account what deeply embedded biases might be informing their viewpoint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s a view that rests on a statement like, why should I pay for other people’s children? Well, why are they other people’s children? Why aren’t they our children? Why isn’t there a collective sense that as Americans, we’re all in this together?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, even people who like the idea of a single-payer health care system may be grappling with another hurdle, said Shenker-Osorio — their personal experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are incredibly risk averse, and their lived experience is health care only getting worse,” she said. “We know the current system is bad, but we have absolutely no lived experience that change can make it better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peter Ditto, the UC Irvine professor, said showing people that something new works is the easiest way to change their minds — he pointed to how relatively quickly gay marriage has become more broadly acceptable over the past decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, it’s not easy to convince people of a collective good, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The natural state of people is to break up into groups and dislike each other — that’s human history.

"content": "\u003cp>No major pharmaceutical company has come forward to say it would manufacture a novel coronavirus vaccine, currently being developed by the National Institutes of Health, a top U.S. official acknowledged Tuesday, a reality that he called “very difficult and very frustrating.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The comments by Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, highlight how challenging it could be to translate the NIH’s work, being undertaken in partnership with the biotech company Moderna Therapeutics, into a vaccine that could be marketed. Fauci described the circumstances as challenging. “Companies that have the skill to be able to do it are not going to just sit around and have a warm facility, ready to go for when you need it,” Fauci said, speaking on a panel Tuesday hosted by the Aspen Institute and moderated by STAT’s Helen Branswell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fauci said it would be at least a year before a coronavirus vaccine would be available. However, that timeline assumes a large pharmaceutical manufacturer does step up to help make the product.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vaccine being developed by the NIH and Moderna uses mRNA technology and is being funded by the Oslo, Norway-based Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations. CEPI is funding three other efforts to develop a vaccine for the novel coronavirus. None of those partners, however, have the kind of commercial facilities that major pharmaceutical makers have and that would be capable of making the product in bulk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson & Johnson has announced it is interested in developing its own coronavirus vaccine.

Fauci described the circumstances as challenging. “Companies that have the skill to be able to do it are not going to just sit around and have a warm facility, ready to go for when you need it,” Fauci said, speaking on a panel Tuesday hosted by the Aspen Institute and moderated by STAT’s Helen Branswell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fauci said it would be at least a year before a coronavirus vaccine would be available. However, that timeline assumes a large pharmaceutical manufacturer does step up to help make the product.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vaccine being developed by the NIH and Moderna uses mRNA technology and is being funded by the Oslo, Norway-based Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations. CEPI is funding three other efforts to develop a vaccine for the novel coronavirus. None of those partners, however, have the kind of commercial facilities that major pharmaceutical makers have and that would be capable of making the product in bulk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson & Johnson has announced it is interested in developing its own coronavirus vaccine. On Tuesday, the company’s vaccine division, Janssen, said it would partner with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services to develop that vaccine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Saying that it’s now safe for the group to rejoin their communities and families, Knight added, “This is a huge celebration for all of us here at March Air Reserve Base.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Knight also stressed that the completion of the quarantine means that the evacuees have been determined to be entirely free of the virus that has now killed more than 1,000 people in China. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They pose no health risk to themselves, to their families, to their places of work, to schools or their communities — no health risk of novel coronavirus from these individuals whatsoever,” Knight said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Knight also praised the evacuees, thanking them for their professionalism and cooperation over the past two weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They have been through a lot during these last few weeks, not just the two weeks of quarantine, but also during their time in Wuhan before flying to the United States,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, World Health Organization director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced a new name for the disease caused by the novel coronavirus — COVID-19 — saying officials wanted to avoid stigmatizing any geographic location, group of people or animal that might be linked to the disease and to make it clear it was a new coronavirus discovered in 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='coronavirus']The quarantine group is a mix of U.S. diplomatic staff, businesspeople and families with children.

And he said no one in the group should be “outed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They don’t need additional testing; they don’t need to be shunned,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Fortunately, most of you have been very supportive and understanding of everything that these people have been through,” Kaiser added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the quarantine, the evacuees have lived in \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/02/11/802352351/new-coronavirus-gets-an-official-name-from-the-world-health-organization\">a cordoned-off area of March Air Reserve Base\u003c/a>, which is in Riverside County, east of Los Angeles.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that \u003ca href=\"https://www.ptsd.va.gov/understand/common/common_adults.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">8 million adults have PTSD\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That disorder results from combat, Doblin says, but also from sexual assault and other trauma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those treated with MDMA, \u003ca href=\"https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00213-019-05249-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">54% no longer had PTSD symptoms\u003c/a> after therapy. Researchers found that number increased to 68% a year after treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal Controlled Substances Act classifies MDMA as an illegal Schedule 1 drug. While the FDA is expanding access to just 50 people beyond the clinical trial, Doblin and his team hope to increase that number, and to see the FDA approve the treatment by 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lubecky, the Army veteran, now works for MAPS as its Veterans and Governmental Affairs Liaison. He says making this treatment available to even a small number of people could mean the difference between life and death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The MDMA-assisted therapy,” he says, “is the reason that my stepson Joey has a father instead of a folded flag.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Nobody wants to be close to anybody. And also people get pretty upset if you don’t put on your mask properly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under this 14-day quarantine, the passengers don’t have to wear masks, although they can if they choose, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/media/spokesperson/braden/BRADEN.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chris Braden\u003c/a>, deputy director for the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

A total of 345 passengers returned to the United States Wednesday on two flights. Some went to Travis Air Force Base while others landed at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, near San Diego. Health officials screened the passengers upon arrival, Walke says. This follows a first flight of evacuees that landed last week, bringing the total number of people repatriated to the United States up to 540.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the process to get home was frustrating, according to two passengers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Xu had been in Wuhan visiting family for the Lunar New Year holiday. She wasn’t sure when she would be allowed to return to the United States, where she has been living for 13 years. She kept calling the State Department and the U.S. embassy, but didn’t hear back. “Looking back on it over the past three weeks, it was a progression of confusion, then some despair,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was chaotic at the airport in China, Leonhard says.

She’d been visiting relatives there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leonhard’s quarters at the military base where she is quarantined are simple, but comfortable, she says. They resemble standard hotel rooms. Her space has a clean bathroom, internet access and a television.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11800649\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11800649\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/ningxi-ebe4401c8b5fae6c85b733f91ffda0f7daf5abdd-e1581091668953.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1441\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ningxi Xu is investment manager in Jersey City. She is under quarantine for two weeks in California after returning from Wuhan, China. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Ningxi Xu)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The evacuees can leave their rooms, and go outside for walks within a fenced-in area. Food is provided three times a day. “I don’t feel that cramped,” she says. Health officials are trying to make things easier for the evacuees, she adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ningxi Xu, another evacuee under quarantine, says she can order supplies online and have them delivered. She’s been working remotely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Xu, who is 30 and an investment manager in Jersey City, wishes she could return home to her family. “It’s almost like being in prison here,” she says. “It’s just an unfortunate reality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People are worried about getting sick, Leonhard says. “People didn’t want to get too close. Nobody wants to be close to anybody. And also people get pretty upset if you don’t put on your mask properly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under this 14-day quarantine, the passengers don’t have to wear masks, although they can if they choose, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/media/spokesperson/braden/BRADEN.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chris Braden\u003c/a>, deputy director for the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They are asked to keep a distance from other people — about six feet, he adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that they’re in their quarters, they are getting symptom and temperature checks twice each day, Braden says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDC doctors caring for the quarantined evacuees say they are providing any medical treatment they may need, including mental health counseling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When anyone comes from a stressful situation where there’s intense community-wide transmission of an emerging disease and then they’re whisked away and put on a plane and then arrive at a new destination, obviously it’s very stressful,” says the CDC’s Dr. Henry Walke, who’s caring for evacuees at the Travis base. “So, yes, we are concerned about the mental health of the residents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, there’s a sense of gratitude among the passengers, Leonhard says. They want to concentrate on the positive, and put the experience at the Wuhan airport behind them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11800650\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11800650 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/ap_20036748254715_custom-362d303d2c46a4b3820b34828ab572cc65347710-e1581091736332.jpg\" alt=\"Evacuees are being held in quarantine at the Westwind Inn lodging facility at Travis Air Force Base in California\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1279\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Evacuees are being held in quarantine at the Westwind Inn lodging facility at Travis Air Force Base in California. \u003ccite>(Nicholas Pilch/AP)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The process of evacuation took longer than anticipated, Braden says. A total of 345 passengers returned to the United States Wednesday on two flights. Some went to Travis Air Force Base while others landed at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, near San Diego. Health officials screened the passengers upon arrival, Walke says. This follows a first flight of evacuees that landed last week, bringing the total number of people repatriated to the United States up to 540.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the process to get home was frustrating, according to two passengers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Xu had been in Wuhan visiting family for the Lunar New Year holiday. She wasn’t sure when she would be allowed to return to the United States, where she has been living for 13 years. She kept calling the State Department and the U.S. embassy, but didn’t hear back. “Looking back on it over the past three weeks, it was a progression of confusion, then some despair,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was chaotic at the airport in China, Leonhard says. Medical professionals clad in protective suits examined passengers and took their temperatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People were sitting for hours and hours amid the confusion before they were able to board what seemed like a cargo plane with very few windows, Xu adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A team from the CDC met the plane, Walke says, cheering as the passengers finally arrived, and screened them for symptoms in the hangar before explaining their quarantine orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
