Some of the comments sound like PRC propaganda... with full western names... just sayin Not sure a country that just quarantined 40 million people should lecture about safety measures.

I also have flights via HKG to Australia in a couple of weeks and I'm doing a lot of soul searching about what to do... I would lose quite a bit of money in case of cancelling and re-routing (it's in business class), but I am a bit worried that we would not enjoy the flight anyway as there will be a climate of concern around us. Has anyone flown via HKG recently?

@Sir Fly a Lot Where is your Del Taco? I've mostly seen adult doing that in every major burger chain. But yes, self quarantine is a joke. This restrictions are also a joke. I've flown on many Chinese carriers into US, most of the passengers are citizens or residents so not much prevention from this policy anyway. They should at least quarantine everyone for few days regardless. It's not like having a green card give you virus immunization. LOL, but if it does I just want to see the looks on those antivax's face when their passport is also a vaccine.

@Jung Self-Quarantine is a joke. It's as effective as kids asking for water cups at Del Taco and fill them with soda instead.

Say you been China other than Hubei province and entered US among one of 7th airport , as citizen how would you go about self quarantine when your final destination is other than 7th destination ?

@Peter Brown I was booked on a China Eastern flight for next week to Southeast Asia, routing through Shanghai. But because of the American restrictions/quarantine I had a bit of worry that Canada would impose similar rules once I come back. With only a week to go I managed to find a similarly priced AC/OZ ticket with a layover in ICN instead, but if there was new fear of quarantines or immigration-related restrictions I would try China Eastern in an instant. We just have to realize some countries just need to protect themselves. Most of them *are* subjecting people (including Americans) to either rejection or quarantine if they travel through China. Cooler heads will prevail. As our government officials say in Canada "we would only impose quarantine if our medical officers (non-elected and apolitical) require it".
