Tells you something about who wrote these rules. If it was doctors writing the rules, don't you think they would have accounted for that? And why only quarantines for people who have been to Hubei? Shouldn't it be mandatory quarantines for anyone coming from any area with suspected occult cases? (currently just China, but may be expanded later)

If you want to exempt cabin crew from quarantine requirements, then they should be required to wear BSL-4 positive pressure suits connected directly to the bleed air system for the duration of the flight. And they should be sent through a shower of disinfectant before removing the suits following the flight.
